[Verse 1]
C# C#/C
Whenever I'm in the tightest corner
F#/A# C#/G#
Whenever I feel forlorn
F# C#/F
I think of the isle where I was born
F# D#/G G# F/A
And the duty to which I've sworn
A#m A#mM7
But I woke up in a nightmare
A#m7 A#m/G
With a Union Jack and half A# crown
F#
John Bull got caught with his
C#/F D#m7
Pants down, again
G#7 A#m A#mM7
That's inviting sundown
A#m7 A#m/G
It's time to do or die
F# C#/F D#m G#7
It's time to say "Good-bye"
Cb A# D#m G#7
'Cause I'm the man who lost the British Empire
Cb A# D#m G#7
Yes I'm the one, I let the Sun go down
[Verse 2]
C# C#/C
Don't let the shadows lengthen
F#/A# C#/G#
And cover my good intentions
F# C#/F
They say that darkness brings
F# D#/G G# F/A
The right time
A#m A#mM7
But it's also time for tears
A#m7 A#m/G
I'm so sorry and sincere
F# C#/F D#m7
Ahead of me a brilliant career

Yes I'm the one, I let the Sun go down
[Bridge]
Fb F#
Stay awhile Delay the night
D#m Bmb5
I'm too young for twilight
Fb F#
They'd tell the sun to hesitate
D#m G#sus4 G#7
That's when Britain was Great
[Verse 3]
C# C#/C
Now that the lights are flickering
F#/A# C#/G#
My pulse is quickening
F# C#/F
All over the world the lamps will dim
F# D#/G G# F/A
And never be seen again
A#m A#mM7
The balloon's gone up the night descends
A#m7 A#m/G
As they lower the flag on no-man's land
F# C#/F
They'll take you down A# peg or two
D#m7
This is the bitter end
G#7 A#m A#mM7
I walk into darkness
A#m7 A#m/G
It's time to do or die

It's time to say "Good-bye"
