Dar Williams - Empire CAPO: 4th FretN.C.
Em Who's afraid of the sun? Who would question the Bmgoodness of the mighty? We who banish the Emthreat When your little ones Bmall go nighty-nightyWell, there's Dno time for doubt right now And Emless time to explain So get Dback on your horsesKiss my ring, join our next campaignAnd the Emempire grows With the Bmnews that we're winning With Emmore fear to conquer And more Bmgold thread for spinning Bright as Emthe sun Shining on everyBmoneSome would say that we Emforced our words And we find that inBmgenuously churlish Words are just Emwords Don't be so pessiBmmistic, weak and girlishWe like Dstrong, happy people Who don't Emthink there's something wrong with pride DWork makes them freeAnd we spread that freedom far and wideAnd the Emempire grows Got the Bmseeds of its glory For Emevery five tanks Plant a Bmsentimental story 'Til they worship Emthe sun Even Christ-loving BmonesAnd we'll Emkill the terrorisers And a Bmmillion of their races But when Emour people torture you That's a Bmfew random cases Don't question Emthe sun It doesn't help anyBmoneBut the journalists Emcried out GWhen it Bmwas too late to stop us EveryEmone had awakened To the Gdream they could Bmenter our colossusAnd now I'm Dright, here you said I'm right There's Emnothing that can harm me 'Cause the Dsun never setsOn my dungeons or my armyAnd the Emempire fell On it's Bmown splintered axis And the Ememperor wanes As the Bmsilver moon waxesAnd the Emfarmers will find old coins In their Bmstrawberry fields While Emsomebody somewhere Twists his Bmring as someone kneels Oh, where is Emthe sun Shining for everyBmone? Oh, where is Emthe sun Shining for everyBmone?OUTRO: (## repeat and fade to end ##) Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm
