Chords and lyrics for The Kingdom by Icehouse (key of F).
Intro
[Gm] [Bb] [Cm7] [Dm7]
Verse
[Gm]One of those [Bb]days
That just comes and [Cm7]goes
It's not so [Dm7]special
[Gm]She watches the [Bb]birds
That rest on a [Cm7]ledge
Outside her [Dm7]room
The wallpaper[Cm7] old and faded
A [Bb]crack in the [Gm]window pane
[Bb]The radio just [Cm7]keeps playing
[Bb]Playing that [Eb]same old song.[Bb]
Verse
[Gm]She smiles to [Bb]herself
"they think that i'm [Cm7]strange...
...they say I'm a [Dm7]dreamer
[Gm]...but I don't [Bb]complain,
Though I don't have [Cm7]much
To call my [Dm7]own."
And she's not a [Cm7]movie star, no
[Bb]And she's not a [Gm]beauty queen
[Bb]She'll tell you it [Cm7]doesn't matter
'cause [Bb]she's not the [Eb]only one
She says,
Chorus
[Em]"I know a [D]place
Where I keep the [Am]best of things[C]
[Em]I'm not gonna [D]wait
For my piece of [Am]heaven.[C]
[Em]Where there's a [D]road
It leads to the [Am]promised land[C]
I[Em] just turn the [D]key
The key to the
[Am]...kingdom..."
Refrain
[Gm] [Bb] [Cm7] [Dm7]
Verse
[Gm]She stares at the [Bb]page
Of a new [Cm7]magazine, the morning [Dm7]papers
[Gm]She walks into [Bb]town
And catches a [Cm7]show
If she can find the [Dm7]time
And she's not a [Cm7]movie star, no
And [Bb]she's not a [Gm]beauty queen
She'll [Bb]tell you it [Cm7]doesn't matter
[Bb]'cause she's not the [Eb]only one.
She says,
Chorus
[Em]"I know a [D]place
Where I keep the [Am]best of things[C]
[Em]I'm not gonna [D]wait
For my piece of [Am]heaven[C]
[Em]Where there's a [D]road
It leads to the [Am]promised land[C]
I[Em] just turn the [D]key
The key to the
[Am]...kingdom..."
