[Verse 1]
E                A           E  
The crown of the kingdom is 
          A
given to the woman
E                   A       E   
The kingdom of the kitchen where
              A
 she says she shouldn't,
D                       Bm       
There on the stainless steel her 
               A       B
cigarettes and matches
C#m             F#m              
Whistles to the radio to every 
       E
hook she catches,
       F#m            C#7         
But the frowns, eider downs, tie 
     Am
her down
         A                         
But she likes to wear the crown of 
       E A C#m F#m
the kingdom.

E              A        E       
She like the recipes a touch of 
A
oriental
E                 A       E     
Steaming up the windows burning 
       A
egg on metal,
D                Bm          
Sees in a catalogue a shiny new 
        A   B
appliance
C#m                   F#m  
Another role swallowed by the 
              E
wonders of science,
        F#m          C#7  
Lobster hands, omelet pans,

A                                 
How the crown can stick like jam 
            E  A  C#m  F#m
in her kingdom.

G#7                   C#m
He's been so busy and she's been 
neglected,
G#7                          C#m
The problem is computed and always 
it's rejected,
G#            A            F#
Out of her heart I catch a spark,
       B
And being smart
            G#               C#m  
The crown is left out in the dark 
                 F#m    B
now there's no kingdom.

[Verse 3]
F#              B            F# 
Fed up with the glory she 
        B
abdicates her title
F#                B        F#   
Sitting at a bar stool she gives
      B
 her day's recital,
    E                C#m
The family watch in horror
                       B        C#
As she staggers up the hallway
D#m
Makes herself a sandwich
G#m                          
As they're looking through the 
   F#
doorway,
           G#m         D#7 
She goes to bed, leg by leg, 
              Bm
nothing’s said
              B               
There's no crown upon her head 
                F#  B  D#m  G#m
there's no kingdom.

Press the button on the toaster
      D
It's a woman's world,
F#      F#/E               B
Tuck the sheets in on the bed
          F#
It's a woman's world,
A                          G#
Take your apron from your holster

It's a woman's world,
G                            F#
Shoot the crown off of your head
