E A C#m F#m
[Verse 1]
E A E A
The crown of the kingdom is given to the woman
E A E A
The kingdom of the kitchen where she says she shouldn't,
D Bm A B
There on the stainless steel her cigarettes and matches
C#m F#m E
Whistles to the radio to every hook she catches,
F#m C#7 Am
But the frowns, eider downs, tie her down
A E A C#m F#m
But she likes to wear the crown of the kingdom.
[Verse 2]
E A E A
She like the recipes a touch of oriental
E A E A
Steaming up the windows burning egg on metal,
D Bm A B
Sees in a catalogue a shiny new appliance
C#m F#m E
Another role swallowed by the wonders of science,
F#m C#7 Am
Lobster hands, omelet pans, understand
A E A C#m F#m
How the crown can stick like jam in her kingdom.
[Bridge]
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 F#m B
The crown is left out in the dark now there's no kingdom.
[Verse 3]
F# B F# B
Fed up with the glory she abdicates her title
F# B F# B
Sitting at a bar stool she gives 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 F#
As they're looking through the doorway,
G#m D#7 Bm
She goes to bed, leg by leg, nothing’s said
B F# B D#m G#m
There's no crown upon her head there's no kingdom.
[Outro]
F# F#/E D#m
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
