Whenever I'm in the tightest corner

With a Union Jack and half D crown
A#
John Bull got caught with his
F/A Gm7
Pants down, again
C7 Dm DmM7
That's inviting sundown
Dm7 Dm/B
It's time to do or die
A# F/A Gm C7
It's time to say "Good-bye"
Eb D Gm C7
'Cause I'm the man who lost the British Empire

Yes I'm the one, I let the Sun go down

Don't let the shadows lengthen

The right time

I'm so sorry and sincere

I'm too young for twilight

They'd tell the sun to hesitate

That's when Britain was Great

Now that the lights are flickering
A#/D F/C
My pulse is quickening
A# F/A
All over the world the lamps will dim
A# G/B C A/C#
And never be seen again

The balloon's gone up the night descends
Dm7 Dm/B
As they lower the flag on no-man's land

They'll take you down D peg or two

This is the bitter end

I walk into darkness
