E   A   C#m   F#m

[Verse 1]
E                A           E            A
The crown of the kingdom is given to the woman
E                   A       E                 A
The kingdom of the kitchen where she says she shouldn't,
D                       Bm                      A       B
There on the stainless steel her cigarettes and matches
C#m             F#m                     E
Whistles to the radio to every hook she catches,
       F#m            C#7              Am
But the frowns, eider downs, tie her down
         A                                E A C#m F#m
But she likes to wear the crown of the kingdom.

[Verse 2]
E              A        E       A
She like the recipes a touch of oriental
E                 A       E            A
Steaming up the windows burning egg on metal,
D                Bm                  A   B
Sees in a catalogue a shiny new appliance
C#m                   F#m                E
Another role swallowed by the wonders of science,
        F#m          C#7        Am
Lobster hands, omelet pans, understand
A                                             E  A  C#m  F#m
How the crown can stick like jam in her kingdom.

[Bridge]
G#7                   C#m
He's been so busy and she's been neglected,
G#7                          C#m
The problem is computed and always it's rejected,
G#            A            F#
Out of her heart I catch a spark,
       B
And being smart
            G#               C#m                   F#m    B
The crown is left out in the dark now there's no kingdom.

[Verse 3]
F#              B            F#         B
Fed up with the glory she abdicates her title
F#                B        F#         B
Sitting at a bar stool she gives her day's recital,
    E                C#m
The family watch in horror
                       B        C#
As she staggers up the hallway
D#m
Makes herself a sandwich
G#m                             F#
As they're looking through the doorway,
           G#m         D#7               Bm
She goes to bed, leg by leg, nothing’s said
              B                               F#  B  D#m  G#m
There's no crown upon her head there's no kingdom.

[Outro]
F#        F#/E                   D#m
Press the button on the toaster
      D
It's a woman's world,
F#      F#/E               B
Tuck the sheets in on the bed
          F#
It's a woman's world,
A                          G#
Take your apron from your holster

It's a woman's world,
G                            F#
Shoot the crown off of your head
