C
Pharaoh he was a powerful man

with the ancient world in the palm of his hand
   Dm              G
to all intents and purposes he
    Dm            G
was Egypt, with a capital E

    C
Whatever he did he was showered with praise

if he cracked a joke then you'd chortle for days
Dm                     G
no one had rights or a vote but the king
   Dm                        G
in fact you might say he was fairly right wing

     C          F
When Pharaoh's around
         C               F
then you get down on the ground
       C    G        F               Dm               G
if you ever find yourself near Ramesses
                 C
get down on your knees

                  F
A Pharaoh's story, a Pharaoh's story
C                  F
 a Pharaoh's story, a Pharaoh's story

C
Down at the other end of the scale

Joseph is still doing time in jail
    Dm                G
For even though he is in with the guards
  Dm                       G
A lifetime in prison seems quite on the cards

       C
But if my analysis of the position is right

at the end of the tunnel there's a glimmer of light
    Dm                   G
for all or a sudden indescribable things
    Dm                          G
has shattered the sleep of both peasants and kings

C             F
Strange as it seems
               C            F
there's been a run of crazy dreams
      C       G     F                Dm               G
and a man who can interpret would go far
               C
could become a star

                F
Could be famous, could be a big success
C                F
 could be famous, could be a big success

C             F
Strange as it seems
               C            F
there's been a run of crazy dreams

and a man who can interpret would go far
               C
could become a star

                F
Could be famous, could be a big success
C                F
 could be famous, could be a big success

C             F
Strange as it seems

there's been a run of crazy dreams
      C       G     F                Dm    F   G
and a man who can interpret would go faaa-aaa-aaar
               C     F    C    F
could become a sta     -     ar
           C
