They told us that our hero has 
played his trump card

He doesn't know how to go on
Em
We're clinging to his charm and 
determined smile

But the good ol' days have gone

( D  Am  Em  C  G )

[Third Part]

D
The image and the Empire may be 
falling apart
Am
The money has gotten scarce
Em
One man's word held the country 
together
C                           G
But the truth is getting fierce
