You lead the lost sheep up to the mountain

There's a rumbling while you're lording it, everyone's watching your game 
        F#m              B 
There's little now to be said for this 
        F#m                    A 
Oh, you know we've done all we can 
                             B             E          E

But how the Empire fell is known only to the few 
               A       B                E

You're still talking but only to the walking, dead 'cause they've all gone asleep 
        F#m              B                   
There's little now to be said for this 
        F#m                    A 
Oh, you know we've done all we can 
                                 B                 E
