Figured out the song by ear and started writing this as a chord sheet for playing without a capo.
Check out version 2 by migratoryharp for a tab version of the song.
[Intro]
Em/C F G/C X4
[Verse 1]
Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C I set out to rule the world Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C with only a paper shield and a wooden sword. Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C No mountain dare stand in my way, Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C even the oceans tremble in my wake. Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C The tide is brave, but always retreats. Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C even the sand, it cowers under my feet. Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C My kingdom towers above it all, Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C while I sleep safe and sound in my cardboard walls.
[Chorus]
G Am Em F/C Now I bear little resemblance to the king I once was. G Am Em F/C I bear little resemblance to the king I could become. G Am Em F/C Maybe paper is paper, maybe kids will be kids, G Am Em F/C Em F/C Lord, I want to remember how to feel like I did.
[Verse 2]
Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C So I draw my sword with the morning sun, Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C I summon the moon as soon as the day is done. Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C The clouds march on, on my command. Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C Even the rain, it falls according to plan. Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C The trees bow down and give their leaves. Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C I humbly accept their offerings of peace.
G/C F G/C
[Bridge]
F G/C F G/C The years wore on and changed my heart, F G/C F the leading role for a smaller part.
[Chorus]
G Am Em F/C Now I bear little resemblance to the king I once was. G Am Em F/C I bear little resemblance to the king I could become. G Am Em F/C Maybe paper is paper, maybe kids will be kids. G Am Em F/C Em F/C Lord, I want to remember how to feel like I did. G Am Em F/C 'Cause I bear little resemblance to the king I once was. G Am Em F/C I bear little resemblance to the king I could become. G Am Em F/C Maybe paper is paper, maybe kids will be kids, G Am Em F/C Em F/C Lord, I want to remember how to feel like I did.
[Outro]
Em/C F G/C Em/C F G I set out to rule the world Em/C F G/C Em/C F G with only a paper shield and a wooden sword.
