Lorde - Royals MV, lyrics, chords and ukulele/guitar tutorials

Verse D I've never seen a diamond in the flesh (C) (G) I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies D And I'm not proud of my address (C) (G) In the torn up town, no post code envy Pre-Chorus D But every song's like, gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room C G We don't care... we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams D But everybody's like, Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash C G We don't care...we aren't caught up in your love affair Chorus D And we'll never be royals (royals) It don't run in our blood C That kind of luxe just ain't for us G We crave a different kind of buzz D Let me be your ruler (ruler) You can call me Queen Bee C And baby, I'll rule... (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule...) G ...Let me live that fantasy My friends and I, we've cracked the code We count our dollars on the train to the party And everyone who knows us knows That we're fine with this, we didn't come from money But every song's like, gold teeth, Grey Goose, trippin' in the bathroom Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room We don't care... we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams But everybody's like, Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash We don't care...we aren't caught up in your love affair And we'll never be royals (royals) It don't run in our blood That kind of luxe just ain't for us We crave a different kind of buzz Let me be your ruler (ruler) You can call me Queen Bee And baby I'll rule... (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule...) Let me live that fantasy Bridge D C ...Ohhh, ohhh.... oooooo.... We're bigger than we ever dreamed G ...And I'm in love with being queen D C ...Ohhh, ohhh.... oooooo.... Life is great without a care G We aren't caught up in your love affair And we'll never be royals (royals) It don't run in our blood That kind of luxe just ain't for us We crave a different kind of buzz Let me be your ruler (ruler) You can call me Queen Bee And baby I'll rule... (I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule...) Let me live that fantasy

Notes & Tabs

Guitar Chords Used

This song uses three chords: D, C, and G. They're played in the same exact progression the entire time -- with the exception of the verse, which can alternatively be played using only the D chord. Below, I show a few different ways you might approach playing the D-C-G chords -- these different positions might help you mix it up a bit to add variety. Ultimately, do what works for you -- you can be quite flexible with this song, as the vocals carry the bulk of the weight.
