Clang Of The Yankee Reaper chords by Van Dyke Parks

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

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

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

A
Out in the rude wild abandon
                                  A/G#
The Shah of Iran bought the plan
F#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             F#
Just think of him
          Bb              D
When your light Starts to dim

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

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

A
Out in the rude wild abandon
                                  A/G#
The Shah of Iran bought the plan
F#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             F#
Just think of him
          Bb              D
When your light Starts to dim
