[E] Solomon [C] took a census [C#m] and we were just [B] passing through

[E] _ Solomon [C] took a census [C#m] and we were just [B] passing through
But his press gang arrested [C#m] us and led us to the [F#] quarry two by two _
And now, [E] King Solomon, [Am] I'm working for [Bm] a song in [E] your mind _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] Solomon wants [B] a palace [C#m] and a temple for his [B] god Yahweh
But you and me, sweet Alison, we get sweet [F#] F.A.
And now, [E] King Solomon, [Am] I'm working for [Bm] a song [E] in your mind
_ _ _ _ _ [B] You trade our [Em] daylight for Turkish delight
You trade our [G] fear for euphoria
_ _ [Am] Your witches and wheel for your [B] underground rail
[F#m] And your foreign trolls, [G#m] oh my [A] love
[B] I [E] started a union for fools
[A] Queen _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[E] of Sheba [C] visited, [B] she brought spices and guitars
There never were spices or guitars like [C#m] that, at least never for the likes [E] of us
Solomon took some frankincense, the queen took some cocaine
Then the lighting changed and they sang strange [G] words
And the band [F] already [Dm] knew the [F#] chords
And now, [E] King Solomon, [Am] I'm working [Bm] for your song _
[E] [A] and mine _ _ _ _ _
[B] You trade our [Em] daylight for Turkish delight
You trade our fear for [G] _ euphoria _ _
[Am] Your witches and wheel for your underground rail
[F#m] And your foreign trolls, [G#m] oh my [A] love
_ _ [B] _
[E] One thing's sure and nothing's [E] surer
The rich get richer and the poor get_ _ _ _ _ _

[A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] Now we're living [C] happily, [C#m] Alison and [F#] I
[B] We can't stop singing Solomon's song
We were [C#m] singing it on the night
[Em] We conceived our [F#m] healthy children
[Em] Who thanks to the union [F#m] line
[E] Are at school with the sons of [F#m] the former
[G] With a future down [Dm] the mine _ _ _
[F#] And soon, [E] King Solomon
[Am] They'll be [E] working for [G] your song _ [E] _ and mine
_ You _ _ _ trade [Em] our daylight for Turkish delight
You trade our fear [G] for euphoria
_ _ [Am] But we trade our lives [B] for the song you taught us to [F#m] sing _ _
[G#m] How did it go?
[A] We trade you [B] to the bad [E] thing The King _ _
