Verse 1:
C majorC                                A minorAm
Early in the morning where there used to be a slough
          C majorC                                 A minorAm
There's a tiny business lake, don't let the cattails fool you
            C majorC            A minorAm
Down in the bottom where nothing is born
C majorC                                A minorAm
Sleeps a silver dollar with your face thereon


Pre-Chorus 1:
FF                                       D7D7
Wish I could trace the frowning compass of your mouth
       FF                                   D7D7
Drop a mercury dime down a Roman drain and summon Mars


Chorus 1:
C majorC
Last lion of Albion
        A minorAm
They'll use you for centuries to come
        FF
They'll steal your patents for the sun
    D7D7
And you'll feel extinction
                                A minorAm
When you see your face on their money

Verse 2:

C majorC                            A minorAm
Late in the heavens that are already bought
C majorC                          A minorAm
Sleeps a red planet in the galaxy of a lion's thoughts
       C majorC                    A minorAm
On the surface every tendon and intended machine
         C majorC                           A minorAm
Is gonna buckle, knuckle, kneel on a carpet of lion's tongues


Pre-Chorus 2:
FF                                                    D7D7
Wish I could stand in the spray of the cliff of your sweet revenge
FF                               D7D7
Oceans of naked serrated marble crushing in

Last lion of Albion

Your wound's the main road into London

                                A minorAm
When you see your face on their money
