Clang Of The Yankee Reaper chords by Van Dyke Parks

Chords with lyrics

A augmentedA
The sun never set on the empire
                A/G#
Prince Albert came in a can
F# minorF#m
If you expire before you retire
And end up an also-ran
It's fine time to drink tea from China
D MajorD     F#F#
Do drop a line
    Bb majorBb    D MajorD
Let me know I am fine

D#D# BB B/C# E/G#
Sun...
       D#D#  BB B/C# E/G#
in the moonlight...        in the moon

E MajorE         E/D#
Gone, just like I said
  C# minorC#m        G# minorG#m
The good old days are dead
    C# minorC#m         G# minorG#m
Better get it through your head
    C# minorC#m
As you harken to
  G#G#      BB   E MajorE
The clang of The Yankee Reaper
      E/D#
It's like I said
  C# minorC#m        G# minorG#m
The good old days are dead
    C# minorC#m
As you harken to
  G#G#      BB   E MajorE
The clang of The Yankee Reaper

A augmentedA
Out in the rude wild abandon
                 A/G#
The Shah of Iran bought the plan
F# minorF#m
Seen with the Queen he was all smiles
He just bailed out the British Isles
It's time to drink tea from fine china
D MajorD       F#F#
Just think of him
     Bb majorBb       D MajorD
When your light Starts to dim

D#D# BB B/C# E/G#
Sun...
       D#D#  BB B/C# E/G#
in the moonlight...        in the moon

E MajorE         E/D#
Gone, just like I said
  C# minorC#m        G# minorG#m
The good old days are dead
    C# minorC#m         G# minorG#m
Better get it through your head
    C# minorC#m
As you harken to
  G#G#      BB   E MajorE
The clang of The Yankee Reaper
      E/D#
It's like I said
  C# minorC#m        G# minorG#m
The good old days are dead
    C# minorC#m
As you harken to
  G#G#      BB   E MajorE
The clang of The Yankee Reaper

A augmentedA
Out in the rude wild abandon

When your light Starts to dim
