East Sleeping at Last
Capo 5
Verse 1
[Em]i s[C]et[G] out to rule the world
with only a paper shield and a wooden sword.
no mountain dare stand in my way,
even the oceans tremble in my wake.
the tide is brave, but always retreats.
even the sand, it cowers under my feet.
my kingdom towers above it all,
while i sleep safe and sound in my cardboard walls.
Chorus
now i bear l[Am]ittle res[Em]emblance to the k[G]ing i o[C]nce was.
[Am]i bear l[Em]ittle resemblan[C]ce to the king i[G] could become.
[Am]maybe pa[Em]per is paper, m[G]aybe kids will b[C]e kids
[Am]Lord, i w[Em]ant to remember ho[C]w to feel li[G]ke i did.
Verse 2
[Em]so [G]i [C]draw my sword with the morning sun,
i summon the moon as soon as the day is done.
the clouds march on, on my command.
even the rain, it falls according to plan.
the trees bow down and give their leaves.
i humbly accept their offerings of peace.
(I dont know the chords for this part)
Bridge
the years wore on and changed my heart,
the leading role for a smaller part.
now i bear [Am]little re[Em]semblance to the k[G]ing i o[C]nce was.
[Am]i bear l[Em]ittle resemblan[C]ce to the king i[G] could become.
[Am]maybe pa[Em]per is paper, m[G]aybe kids will b[C]e kids
[Am]Lord, i w[Em]ant to remember ho[C]w to feel li[G]ke i did.
â??cause i bear [Am]little re[Em]semblance to [G]the kin[C]g i once was.
[Am]i bear l[Em]ittle resemblan[C]ce to the king i[G] could become.
[Am]maybe pa[Em]per is paper, m[G]aybe kids will b[C]e kids
[Am]Lord, i w[Em]ant to remember ho[C]w to feel li[G]ke i did.
[Em]i s[G]et[C] out to rule the world
[Em]wit[G]h [C]only a paper shield and a wooden sword.
