Pharaoh--From Acoustic Classics II
[Verse 1]
Am Pharaoh he sits in his tower of steel Am The dogs of money all at his heel Am Magicians cry "Oh truth! Oh real!" Am We're all working for the Pharaoh
[Verse 2]
Am C A thousand eyes, a thousand ears Am G He feeds us all, he feeds our fears Am G Don't stir in your sleep tonight, my dears C Em G Am We're all working for the Pharaoh
[Chorus]
Am C And it's Egypt land, Egypt land, Am G We're all living in Egypt land Am G Am C Tell me, brother, don't you understand C Em G Am We're all working for the Pharaoh
[Verse 3]
Am C Hidden from the eye of chance Am G The men of shadow dance a dance Am C We're all struck into a trance C Em G Am We're all working for the Pharaoh
[Verse 4]
Am C The idols rise into the sky Am G Pyramids soar, Sphinxes lie Am C Head of dog, Osiris eye C Em G Am We're all working for the Pharaoh
[Chorus]
Am And it's Egypt land, Egypt land Am G We're all living in Egypt land Am C Am G Tell me, sister, don't you understand C Em G Am We're all working for the Pharaoh
[Verse 5]
Am C I dig a ditch, I shape a stone Am G Another battlement for his throne Am C Another day on earth is flown C Em G Am We're all working for the Pharaoh
[Verse 6]
Am C You call it England, you call it Spain Am G Egypt rules with a whip and chain Am C Moses free my people again C Em G Am We're all working for the Pharaoh
[Chorus]
Am C And it's Egypt land, Egypt land Am G We're all living in Egypt land Am C Egypt land, Egypt land Am G Am C Brothers and sisters, don't you understand, Am Em G Am We're all working for the Pharaoh
[Outro Verse]
Am C Pharaoh he sits in his tower of steel Am G Around his feet the princes kneel Am C Far beneath we shoulder the wheel C Em G Am We're all working for the Pharaoh
