E     E     D          A
Glam, bam, thank you, ma'am!

[Verse 1]
E
 I didn't agree with King Richard three,
      A
So I fought him at Bosworth field and won, victory!
E
 How cool does it sound that I'm the king who found
            A
Richard's crown in a hedge on the winning battle ground
     D
The only way to end war and avert further disaster
         E
There's got to be a way to unite York and Lancaster

[Chorus 1]
D          A      E
 I'm the original ch-ch-ch Tudor
D        A            E
 Founder of that dynasty
     D        A         G           E
The man who closes the Wars of the Roses
        A             G            A
That's right, that's right, that's me!

[Verse 2]
E
 I launched attacks on lords who earned stacks
      A
Mine was a noble cause to tap them all for tax
E
 They paid their share, was only fair
    A
To make England rich and me a millionaire
  D
Elizabeth York became my wife for life, that make me a bore?
 E
Joined our family seats, that's neat, and made my rule secure

[Chorus 2]
D          A      E
 I'm the original ch-ch-ch Tudor
D           A             E
 Returning power to the state
    D             A            G        E
It seemed quite toothless but actually ruthless
   A        G         A
I made the monarchy great

[Bridge]
  D
Spent a long time fighting pretenders to the throne
         A
Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck said my throne was their own
       D
They claimed they'd been the princes in the tower their rule delayed
         E
I said 'this crown ain't big enough for the three of us' and had one slayed!

[Chorus 3]
D          A      E
 I'm the original ch-ch-ch Tudor
D         A          E
 King of foreign policy
        D         A            G     E
To end hostile relations with enemy nations
   A             G                A
I asked them to make friends with me

[Outro]
D            A      E
 Yeah, the original ch-ch-ch Tudor
D          A                E
 They say dullness my main trait
       D              A
Well, that's a sad endightment
                  G             E
'Cause if you're looking for excitement
    A       G     A
My son was Henry VIII
