VERSE 1:
G#m            F#           C#m E
 You are the power and the glory
G#m              F#            C#m  E
 You are the weakness in defeat
G#m                    F#                     C#m E
 Like the rise and the fall of the British Empire
G#m            F#                  C#m E
 You make me sick with your conceit

 You are the maker of illusions
G#m           F#            C#m          E
 You break up every dream we've ever made
G#m         F#             C#m  E
 And as I rise up from the ashes, would you believe it
G#m             F#              C#m          E
 You raise your ugly head, have you no shame, well
