Pharaoh Story

i love this musical : )

E
pharaoh , he was

a powerful man

with the ancient world

in the palm of his hand
D
to all intents and purposes he

was egypt with a capital E
E
whatever he did

he was showered with praise

if he cracked a joke

then you chortled for days
D
no – one had rights or A

vote but the king

in fact you might say

he was fairly right – wing
E
when pharaoh’s around ,
D
then you get down on the ground
E A D
if you ever find yourself near ramases
E
get down on your knees

E
a pharaoh’s story ,
A D
a pharaoh’s story
E
a pharaoh’s story ,
A D
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
E
of both peasants and kings

strange as it seems ,
D
there’s been a run of crazy dreams
E D
and a man who can interpret
A E
could go far – could become a star

E
could be famous ,
D
could be a big success
E
could be famous ,
D
could be a big success

strange as it seems ,
D
there’s been a run of crazy dreams
E D
and a man who can interpret
A E
could go far – could become a star

E
could be famous ,
D
could be a big success
E
could be famous ,
D
could be a big success

strange as it seems ,
D
there’s been a run of crazy dreams
E D
and a man who can interpret
A E
could go far – could become a star

ah
E
could become a star
E
could be famous ,
D
could be a big success
E
could be famous ,
D A
could be a star!
