The Kingdom chords by Icehouse

Tuning: EADGBE

Intro:
Gm Bb Cm7 Dm7

Verse:
 Gm       Bb
One of those days
           Cm7
That just comes and goes
        Dm7
It's not so special
 Gm       Bb
She watches the birds
         Cm7
That rest on a ledge
       Dm7
Outside her room
       Cm7
The wallpaper old and faded
 Bb      Gm
A crack in the window pane
 Bb       Cm7
The radio just keeps playing
 Bb      Eb     Bb
Playing that same old song.

Verse:
 Gm       Bb
She smiles to herself
             Cm7
"they think that i'm strange...
           Dm7
...they say I'm a dreamer
  Gm       Bb
...but I don't complain,
           Cm7
Though I don't have much
      Dm7
To call my own."
         Cm7
And she's not a movie star, no
 Bb       Gm
And she's not a beauty queen
  Bb         Cm7
She'll tell you it doesn't matter
     Bb      Eb
'cause she's not the only one
She says,

Chorus:
Em     D
"I know a place
         Am      C
Where I keep the best of things
Em        D
I'm not gonna wait
          Am   C
For my piece of heaven.
 Em        D
Where there's a road
          Am      C
It leads to the promised land
 Em       D
I just turn the key
The key to the
 Am
...kingdom..."

Refrain:
Gm Bb Cm7 Dm7

Verse:
Gm         Bb
She stares at the page
      Cm7          Dm7
Of a new magazine, the morning papers
 Gm       Bb
She walks into town
        Cm7
And catches a show
           Dm7
If she can find the time
         Cm7
And she's not a movie star, no
   Bb      Gm
And she's not a beauty queen
     Bb      Cm7
She'll tell you it doesn't matter
 Bb          Eb
'cause she's not the only one.
She says,

Chorus:
Em      D
"I know a place
          Am      C
Where I keep the best of things
 Em      D
I'm not gonna wait
         Am    C
For my piece of heaven
 Em       D
Where there's a road
          Am     C
It leads to the promised land
 Em       D
I just turn the key
The key to the
   Am
