Difford/Tilbrook [Intro] E A E A B x2 E A C#m F#m [Verse 1]
E                A          E        A
The crown of the kingdom is given to the woman

E                  A       E              A
The kingdom of the kitchen where she says she shouldn't,

D                       Bm                      A       B
There on the stainless steel her cigarettes and matches

C#m                      F#m             E
Whistles to the radio to every hook she catches,

        F#m            C#7              Am
But the frowns, eider downs, tie her down

         A                                E    A C#m F#m
But she likes to wear the crown of the kingdom.
[Verse 2]
E        A             E         A
She like the recipes a touch of oriental

E           A           E           A
Steaming up the windows burning egg on metal,

D             Bm                    A   B
Sees in a catalogue a shiny new appliance

  C#m                         F#m                E
Another role swallowed by the wonders of science,

        F#m          C#7        Am
Lobster hands, omelet pans, understand

        A                                 E  A  C#m  F#m
How the crown can stick like jam in her kingdom.
[Bridge]
G#7                   C#m
He's been so busy and she's been neglected,

G#7                          C#m
The problem is computed and always it's rejected,

G#            A            F#7/A#
Out of her heart I catch a spark,

       B
And being smart

            G#7/B#           C#m                 F#m    B
The crown is left out in the dark now there's no kingdom.
[Verse 3]
F#              B         F#        B
Fed up with the glory she abdicates her title

F#           B             F#              B
Sitting at a bar stool she gives her day's recital,

    E                C#m
The family watch in horror

                       B        C#
As she staggers up the hallway

D#m
Makes herself a sandwich

G#m                             F#
As they're looking through the doorway,

           G#m         D#7               Bm
She goes to bed, leg by leg, nothing’s said

              B                               F#  B  D#m  G#m
There's no crown upon her head there's no kingdom.
[Outro]
F#        F#/E          F#
Press the button on the toaster

       F#/E
It's a woman's world,

F#       F#7/A#           Bm
Tuck the sheets in on the bed

       F#
It's a woman's world,

D7/F#                     G#7
Take your apron from your holster
It's a woman's world,
Bm                          F#
Shoot the crown off of your head
It's a woman's world.
