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

Whenever I feel forlorn

I think of the isle where I was born

With a Union Jack and half D# crown

John Bull got caught with his
F#/A# G#m7
Pants down, again
C#7 D#m D#mM7
That's inviting sundown
D#m7 D#m/C
It's time to do or die
B F#/A# G#m C#7
It's time to say "Good-bye"
Fb D# G#m C#7
'Cause I'm the man who lost the British Empire
Fb D# G#m C#7
Yes I'm the one, I let the Sun go down
[Verse 2]
F# F#/F
Don't let the shadows lengthen
B/D# F#/C#
And cover my good intentions

They say that darkness brings

The right time
D#m D#mM7
But it's also time for tears

Now that the lights are flickering
B/D# F#/C#
My pulse is quickening

All over the world the lamps will dim
B G#/C C# A#/D
And never be seen again
D#m D#mM7
The balloon's gone up the night descends
D#m7 D#m/C
As they lower the flag on no-man's land
B F#/A#
They'll take you down D# peg or two
G#m7
This is the bitter end

I walk into darkness
