[Verse 1] N.C. I was a pilgrim in early life, I traveled at night N.C. Bound for Jordan just ten miles north of a civil war
   Dsus2*            Dsus2*
Immersed in mercy in holy flood

     Dsus2*             Dsus2*
That mingled with blood

   Dsus2*             Dsus2*
My sextant headed for homebound lands

        Dsus2*
Through twilight sands

    Dsus2*           Dsus2*
But I grew weary and too far-gone

   Dsus2*       Dsus2*
To carry on

   Dsus2*               Dsus2*
At first my home and my empire soon

Dsus2*                Dsus2*
Would there assume
[Chorus]
    D           G       Gmaj7/B   Asus4
I'm watching my kingdom tumbling down

       D           G      Gmaj7/B
You're flooding my refuge underground

   D           G       Gmaj7/B   Asus4
My kingdom for angels, mighty surround

   Bb                Dsus2*
To take me away from here
[Verse 2]
  Dsus2*                   Dsus2*
A sea of sand came through fiery pass

  Dsus2*           Dsus2*
A sea of glass

   Dsus2*             Dsus2*
An ivory fortress and turret's steel

     Dsus2*
Would swift reveal

    Dsus2*               Dsus2*
The gods of beast and of sun and sky

     Dsus2*          Dsus2*
With banners high

     Dsus2*                  Dsus2*
Were worshipped in their six temples fold

   Dsus2*             Dsus2*
Of desert gold
[Chorus]
    D           G       Gmaj7/B  Asus4
I'm watching my kingdom tumbling down

       D           G      Gmaj7/B
You're flooding my refuge underground

   D           G       Gmaj7/B    Asus4
My kingdom for angels, mighty surround

   Bb                Dsus2*
To take me away from here
[Verse 3] N.C. In summer's sting, as the sages say N.C. The sand gave way N.C. My empire capsized at vanity's cost N.C. Dsus2* And all were lost [Chorus]
    D           G       Gmaj7/B  Asus4
I'm watching my kingdom tumbling down

       D           G      Gmaj7/B
You're flooding my refuge underground

   D           G       Gmaj7/B   Asus4
My kingdom for angels, mighty surround

   Bb
To take me away

    D           G       Gmaj7/B     Asus4
I'm watching my kingdom crumble and fall

       D             G       Gmaj7/B
You're building Your kingdom over all

    D          G                Gmaj7/B  Asus4
I'm cursing my wisdom while the angels I call

   Bb               Bb                Dsus2*
To take me away, to take me away from here
[Outro] Dsus2*
