[Verse 1]
G# G#/G
Whenever I'm in the tightest corner

Whenever I feel forlorn
C# G#/C
I think of the isle where I was born

And the duty to which I've sworn

But I woke up in a nightmare

With a Union Jack and half F crown
C#
John Bull got caught with his
G#/C A#m7
Pants down, again
D#7 Fm FmM7
That's inviting sundown
Fm7 Fm/D
It's time to do or die
C# G#/C A#m D#7
It's time to say "Good-bye"
Gb F A#m D#7
'Cause I'm the man who lost the British Empire
Gb F A#m D#7
Yes I'm the one, I let the Sun go down
[Verse 2]
G# G#/G
Don't let the shadows lengthen
C#/F G#/D#
And cover my good intentions
C# G#/C
They say that darkness brings
C# A#/D D# C/E
The right time
Fm FmM7
But it's also time for tears

Ahead of me a brilliant career

Cb C#
Stay awhile Delay the night
A#m Bmb5
I'm too young for twilight

They'd tell the sun to hesitate

That's when Britain was Great
[Verse 3]
G# G#/G
Now that the lights are flickering
C#/F G#/D#
My pulse is quickening
C# G#/C
All over the world the lamps will dim
C# A#/D D# C/E
And never be seen again
Fm FmM7
The balloon's gone up the night descends
Fm7 Fm/D
As they lower the flag on no-man's land
C# G#/C
They'll take you down F peg or two
A#m7
This is the bitter end
D#7 Fm FmM7
I walk into darkness
