[Verse 1]
D G
I took the throne of England, Just cause I was protestant
Bm G A
A German, king who’s English stank, King George number one.
D G
I like to argue, now that’s clear, especially with my father here
Bm G A
And when he died of diarrhoea, I fought with my son.
[Bridge]
Em G
I broke records with my sixty year reign,
A
And I broke the scales with my giant frame
[Chorus]
D Em F#m G
Born to rule over you
D Bm G A
King George four, three, one and two
D F# Bm A
You had to do what we told you to
G A
Just because our blood was blue
[Instrumental]
D G D G
[Verse 2]
D G
I was a hunk, girls adored me, ladies all swooned before me
Bm G A
They would do anything for me I’d have their husbands killed
D G
Had a war with Prince Charles bonnie, everyone said that I was f-f-funny
Bm G A
I spent everyone’s money, our subjects were not thrilled
[Bridge]
Em G
I was the sad one, I was the bad one
A
I was the mad one, and I was the fat one
[Chorus]
D Em F#m G
Born to rule over you
D Bm G A
Georges one, three, four and two
D F# Bm A
England’s Kings, though we were German too
G A B
Him, then him, then me then you.
[Key Change]
E F#m G#m A
Born to rule over you
E C#m A B
Gorged on fruit then I died on the loo
E G# C#m B
People hated us and we hated them too
A B
Born, to rule over you.
E F#m G#m A
Born to rule over you
E C#m A B
Me I was as batty as a bonkers kangaroo
E G# C#m B
Me, I would have been more at home in a zoo
A B
And now, our song is….
