[Verse 1]
A A/G#
Whenever I'm in the tightest corner
D/F# A/E
Whenever I feel forlorn
D A/C#
I think of the isle where I was born
D B/D# E C#/F
And the duty to which I've sworn
F#m F#mM7
But I woke up in a nightmare
F#m7 F#m/D#
With a Union Jack and half F# crown
D
John Bull got caught with his
A/C# Bm7
Pants down, again
E7 F#m F#mM7
That's inviting sundown
F#m7 F#m/D#
It's time to do or die
D A/C# Bm E7
It's time to say "Good-bye"
G F# Bm E7
'Cause I'm the man who lost the British Empire
G F# Bm E7
Yes I'm the one, I let the Sun go down
[Verse 2]
A A/G#
Don't let the shadows lengthen
D/F# A/E
And cover my good intentions
D A/C#
They say that darkness brings
D B/D# E C#/F
The right time
F#m F#mM7
But it's also time for tears
F#m7 F#m/D#
I'm so sorry and sincere
D A/C# Bm7
Ahead of me a brilliant career
E7 F#m F#mM7
Now I'm going nowhere

It's time to do or die
D A/C# Bm E7
It's time to say "Good-bye"
G F# Bm E7
'Cause I'm the man who lost the British Empire
G F# Bm E7
Yes I'm the one, I let the Sun go down
[Bridge]
C D
Stay awhile Delay the night
Bm Bmb5
I'm too young for twilight
C D
They'd tell the sun to hesitate
Bm Esus4 E7
That's when Britain was Great
[Verse 3]
A A/G#
Now that the lights are flickering
D/F# A/E
My pulse is quickening
D A/C#
All over the world the lamps will dim
D B/D# E C#/F
And never be seen again
F#m F#mM7
The balloon's gone up the night descends
F#m7 F#m/D#
As they lower the flag on no-man's land
D A/C#
They'll take you down F# peg or two
Bm7
This is the bitter end
E7 F#m F#mM7
I walk into darkness
F#m7 F#m/D#
It's time to do or die
D A/C# Bm E7
It's time to say "Good-bye"
G F# Bm E7
'Cause I'm the man who lost the British Empire
G F# Bm E7
Yes I'm the one, I let the Sun go down

Don't let the sun go down

I let the sun go down
