Dar Williams - Empire CAPO: 4th Fret

N.C.

Who's afraid of the sun? ^Em Who would question the ^Bmgoodness of the mighty? We who banish the ^Emthreat When your little ones ^Bmall go nighty-nighty

Well, there's ^Dno time for doubt right now And ^Emless time to explain So get ^Dback on your horses

Kiss my ring, join our next campaign

And 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 every^Bmone

Some would say that we ^Emforced our words And we find that in^Bmgenuously churlish Words are just ^Emwords Don't be so pessi^Bmmistic, weak and girlish

We like ^Dstrong, happy people Who don't ^Emthink there's something wrong with pride ^DWork makes them free

And we spread that freedom far and wide

And 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 ^Bmones

And 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 any^Bmone

But the journalists ^Emcried out ^GWhen it ^Bmwas too late to stop us Every^Emone had awakened To the ^Gdream they could ^Bmenter our colossus

And now I'm ^Dright, here you said I'm right There's ^Emnothing that can harm me 'Cause the ^Dsun never sets

On my dungeons or my army

And the ^Emempire fell On it's ^Bmown splintered axis And the ^Ememperor wanes As the ^Bmsilver moon waxes

And 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 every^Bmone? Oh, where is ^Emthe sun Shining for every^Bmone?
