[Verse 1]
E E/D#
Whenever I'm in the tightest corner
A/C# E/B
Whenever I feel forlorn
A E/G#
I think of the isle where I was born
A F#/A# B G#/C
And the duty to which I've sworn
C#m C#mM7
But I woke up in a nightmare
C#m7 C#m/A#
With a Union Jack and half C# crown
A
John Bull got caught with his
E/G# F#m7
Pants down, again
B7 C#m C#mM7
That's inviting sundown
C#m7 C#m/A#
It's time to do or die
A E/G# F#m B7
It's time to say "Good-bye"
D C# F#m B7
'Cause I'm the man who lost the British Empire
D C# F#m B7
Yes I'm the one, I let the Sun go down
[Verse 2]
E E/D#
Don't let the shadows lengthen
A/C# E/B
And cover my good intentions
A E/G#
They say that darkness brings
A F#/A# B G#/C
The right time
C#m C#mM7
But it's also time for tears

Ahead of me a brilliant career

G A
Stay awhile Delay the night
F#m Bmb5
I'm too young for twilight
G A
They'd tell the sun to hesitate
F#m Bsus4 B7
That's when Britain was Great
[Verse 3]
E E/D#
Now that the lights are flickering
A/C# E/B
My pulse is quickening
A E/G#
All over the world the lamps will dim
A F#/A# B G#/C
And never be seen again
C#m C#mM7
The balloon's gone up the night descends
C#m7 C#m/A#
As they lower the flag on no-man's land
A E/G#
They'll take you down C# peg or two
F#m7
This is the bitter end
B7 C#m C#mM7
I walk into darkness
C#m7 C#m/A#
It's time to do or die

It's time to say "Good-bye"
