[Intro]
A D A D E

[Verse]
A                      F#m                D               E
Fortune has me well in hand, armies 'wait at my command
Bm                      E                   D                 A                       D A D E
My gold lies in a foreign land buried deep beneath the sand
A                     F#m                         D                   E
The angels guide my every tread, my enemies are sick or dead
Bm                    E                 D              A                         D A D E
But all the victories I've led haven't brought you to my bed

[Chorus]
                A             F#m
You see, everybody loves me, baby,
D                                  E
what's the matter with you
                  B                          E
Wont you tell me what did I do
         A           D A D E
to offend you?

Now the purest race I've bred for thee to live in my democracy
And the highest human pedigree awaits the first-born boy baby
And my face on every coin engraved, the anarchists are all enslaved
My own flag is forever waved by the grateful people I have saved

[Kembali ke Chorus]

Now, no land is beyond my claim when land is seized in the people's name
By evil men who rob and maim, if war is hell, I'm not to blame!
Why, you can't blame me, I'm Heaven's child, I'm the second son of Mary mild
And I'm twice removed from Oscar Wilde, but he didn't mind, why, he just smiled

Yes, and the ocean parts when I walk through, and the clouds dissolve and the sky turns blue
I'm held in very great value by everyone I meet but you
'cause I've used my talents as I could, I've done some bad, I've done some good
I did a whole lot better than they thought I would so, c'mon and treat me like you should!

[Kembali ke Chorus] 3x
