Chords/Tabulature for
Inca Queen

Submitted by: David M. (davidjo@ozemail.com.au)

Notes about this song:

  • Here's another one of those great Neil songs in D modal tuning. I just love the sound of the Cmaj7 in this tuning!
  • The TAB of the riff is not in any timing.
  • (It was commented from the RG list that the Cmaj7 in the following TAB has an "add9", so one might call it Cmaj7,9 instead. Nevertheless, it sounds good!)

D                      C                                
Once there was an Inca Queen                            
D                   Cmaj7                               
She gazed at her sundial                                
D                      C                                
All around her workers raised                           
Gm7                 Am7                                 
Golden idols to her smile                               
Gm7                               Am7                   
The waiting years weren't hard to see                   
Bb                        C*   RIFF                     
Behind the tears of Mercury                             
      
Gm7    Am7

She spoke of silver from the sky                                        
D                        Cmaj7                                          
And many floating safety boats                                          
D                               C                                       
To pick them up when they would fly                                     
Gm7                        Am7                                          
Far above their dreams and hopes                                        
Gm7                      Am7                                            
And they a mountain city raised                                         
Bb                          C*                                          
Where their queen above the clouds                                      
                  RIFF                                                  
Could watch out
