G  
Many's the day I took for granted  
Am C G  
Breathing the air that silenced some  

As the North Wind blew with its head of thunder  

Beating its breast with a war drenched song  
 

G Am Am D  
Bathe awhile, awash in slumber  
G Am D  
Cry what's left to sleep  

Where you dream of the love you left forever  

But pity no more nor grieve  
 

G C  
For we're the kings of it all  
G D  
For the day we were born  
G C D  
Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High  
G C G D  
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup  
G C D  
Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye  
C D G  
We were the kings of the Kilburn High  
 
Listen to the sound of dead men dying  
March as they flee but exiled bound  
Their ship once sailed no longer anchors  
For gone is the green  
And their hallowed gound  
 
Toast to tears of times past glories  
This ageless clock chime stalls  
Where to kiss the lips of that love forgotten  
To fly where no others have soared  
 
For we're the kings of it all  
For the day we were born  
Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High  
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup  
Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye  
We were the kings of the Kilburn High  
 
Toast to tears of times past glories  
This ageless clock chime stalls  
Where to kiss the lips of that love forgotten  
To fly where no others have soared  
 
For we're the kings of it all  
For the day we were born  
Now we're the kings of the Kilburn High  
Sure we'll always take a drop and we'll never leave a sup  
Your empty glass is but a tear filled eye  
We were the kings of the Kilburn High
