E5
Pharaoh, he was

A powerful man

With the ancient world

In the palm of his hand
D5
To all intents and purposes he

Was Egypt with a capital E
E5
Whatever he did

He was showered with praise

If he cracked a joke

Then you chortled for days
D5
No-one had rights or a

Vote but the king

In fact you might say

He was fairly right-wing
E5
When Pharaoh's around,
          D5
Then you get down on the ground
E5                    A5         D5
If you ever find yourself near Ramases
E5
Get down on your knees

E5
A Pharaoh's story,
  A5         D5
A Pharaoh's story
E5
A Pharaoh's story,
  A5         D5
A Pharaoh's story


Down at the other
End of the scale
Joseph is still
Doing time in jail
For even though he is
In with the guards
A lifetime in prison
Seems quite on the cards
But if my analysis of
The position is right
At the end of the tunnel
There's seems a glimmer of light
For all of a sudden
Indescribable things
Have shattered the sleep
        E5
Of both peasants and kings

Strange as it seems,
                            D5
There's been a run of crazy dreams
E5                 D5
And a man who can interpret
A5                             E5
Could go far - could become a star

E5
Could be famous,
D5
Could be a big success
E5
Could be famous,
D5
Could be a big success


Strange as it seems,
                            D5

Ah
E5
Could become a star
E5
Could be famous,
D5
Could be a big success
E5
Could be famous,
D5          A5
Could be a star!
