Sleeping At Last - East

^Em/CI set ^Fout to ^G/Crule the world ^{Em/C F G/C} with only a ^Em/Cpaper ^Fshield and a ^G/Cwooden sword. ^{Em/C F G/C} No ^Em/Cmountain ^Fdare stand ^G/Cin my way, ^{Em/C F G/C} even the ^Em/Coceans ^Ftremble ^G/Cin my wake. ^{Em/C F G/C} The t^Em/Cide is ^Fbrave, but ^G/Calways retreats.^{Em/C F G/C} even the ^Em/Csand, it ^Fcowers ^G/Cunder my feet. ^{Em/C F G/C} My ^Em/Ckingdom ^Ftowers ^G/Cabove it all, ^{Em/C F G/C} while I sleep ^Em/Csafe and ^Fsound in my ^G/Ccardboard walls.^{Em/C F G/C}

Now I bear ^Glittle ^Amresemblance to the ^Emking I once ^F/Cwas. I bear ^Glittle ^Amresemblance to the ^Emking I could ^F/Cbecome. Maybe ^Gpaper is ^Ampaper, maybe ^Emkids will be ^F/Ckids, Lord, I ^Gwant to ^Amremember how to f^Emeel like I d^F/Cid. ^{Em F/C}

So I ^Em/Cdraw my ^Fsword with the ^G/Cmorning sun, ^{Em/C F G/C} I summon the ^Em/Cmoon as ^Fsoon as the ^G/Cday is done.^{Em/C F G/C} The ^Em/Cclouds march ^Fon, on ^G/Cmy command. ^{Em/C F G/C} Even the ^Em/Crain, it ^Ffalls ac^G/Ccording to plan.^{Em/C F G/C} The ^Em/Ctrees bow ^Fdown and ^G/Cgive their leaves.^{Em/C F G/C} I humbly ^Em/Caccept their ^Fofferi^G/Cngs of peace.^{Em/C F G/C}

^F The years wore ^G/Con ^F and ^G/Cchanged my heart, ^Fthe leading role ^G/Cfor a smaller p^Fart.

Now I bear ^Glittle ^Amresemblance to the ^Emking I once ^F/Cwas. I bear ^Glittle ^Amresemblance to the ^Emking I could ^F/Cbecome. Maybe ^Gpaper is ^Ampaper, maybe ^Emkids will be ^F/Ckids. Lord, I ^Gwant to ^Amremember how to f^Emeel like I d^F/Cid. ^{Em F/C} 'Cause I bear ^Glittle ^Amresemblance to the ^Emking I once ^F/Cwas.
