Em                        Bm                G                D
The first thing that they tell you about is that you will be king

Em                                  G              D
A priest at least they tell you and then that everything will be

  A
alright at last

                                   Em
You will finally be cast into your rightful throne

                     Bm  Em
They got it all down cold

Em                   Bm          G             D
Next thing that they tell you is not to be afraid

                 Em                     G                 D
You think you're better than the others somewhat fine and brave

           A
They lead astray  you could be up there all alone
A star they say a million miles away from home
   G               F                 Em
An empty space is that the place you wanted

Em                       Bm                  G               D
The last thing that they tell you about they ask you will it hurt

          Em                        G                       D
They said sell what you can boy get out while the getting's good

    A
And they whisper in the evening  all around town

A
Oh humpty dumpty the king is falling down
