[Ab] [Eb] [Bb] [C]
[Db] [Ab]
[Fm] [Db] What [Ab] would you do if it all broke up?
So what would you do if the doors were shut?
And [Db] the pearls are being eaten by the [Ab] swine?
[Eb] So what would [Ab] you do if the wheels don't turn?
There's nothing left nowhere to run
And [Db] it's looking slightly bleaker every [Ab] day
Do you follow your heart?
Do you follow the drum?
Do you follow the flag?
[Bbm] Do you shoulder the gun?
[Ab] Do you slow march off the edge with head held high?
[F]
[Db] Do you go down gently and without a fight?
Do [Eb] you have to get on that chin and beg for more?
[Db] I saw these waves, the trumpet calls
Do you bow [Eb] down?
Do you bow down?
Bow down to the [Ab]
Emperor's [Eb] song
Bow down to the [Fm] Emperor's song Bow [Db] down
[Eb] [Ab] So did you believe in the post-war dream?
Did you hate dealing with machines?
And once picking up your prayers off the phone?
[Eb] You followed [Ab] your vice and you followed the work
You followed the rules and you gave it your lot
But [Db] a younger man's just taking [Ab] on your job
We all [Db] have long-term contracts with the man upstairs
[Ab] But [Eb] who's picking up the options on our stores?
When [Db] it's one life and the deal is up
You bow [Eb] down
You bow down
You bow down
And [Db] we all bow down to the Emperor's song
[Ab]
[Eb] And we all bow down to the Emperor's song
[Db] And we all bow down to the Emperor's song
[Eb] We [Ab] [Eb] all bow down

[Fm] Bow down
[Db] What [Ab] do you do when it's all too much?
You're out of luck and you're out of touch
And [Db] you can't relate to anything they [F] say
[Eb] So what do [Ab] you do when it gets too tough?
You wanna say that enough's enough
[Db] You wanna walk away and just throw in the [Ab] towel
Do you go with the grain?
Do you go with the tide?
Do you go with the crowd?
Do you go for the ride?
Do you hang on until the bitter end?
[F]
There's a [Db] grand wagon leaving but it's not for [Ab] me
Well [Eb] I swallowed all the hooks and I want no more
But [Db] when the light seems to meet and the dragon calls
You bow [Eb] down
You bow down
You bow down
[Ab] And we [Db] all bow down to the Emperor's song
[Eb] And we all bow down to the Emperor's song
[Db]
And we all bow down to [Abm] the Emperor's song Bow [Eb] down
