[Verse 1]
        D             Em
Please come on in and sit you down
    C              G
To partake of the feast
   D                  Em
I count you all the friends I have
    C                G
The ones I like the least
       D              Em
I'll shelter you from darkness
        C             G
As it clouds over the Earth
         D            Em
For the world is in a turmoil
     C                 G
And life has lost its worth
        D             Em
Black shall be your Christmas
         C             G
And sad tidings to you all
      D            Em
I'll put my gift under the tree
      C              G
Wait for the ash to fall
      D                Em
I'll give you guns and bombs
            C         G
And all my military plans
      D             Em
I'll give you my machines
       C            G
And a list of my demands
 
 
[Chorus]
    Am
The Lord of Misrule
     F
Lord of the feast of fools
    Dm
Not mischievous but cruel
Em
Lord of Misrule
      Am
I'll bring you to your knees
           F
Before festivities begin
C          Bm
I may be a lord
      E
But please don't let me in
 
 
[Verse 2]
      D               Em
I'll be the last one laughing
       C              G
At the ending of the world
      D              Em
I'll point my finger at you
         C              G
Say you got what you deserve
       D              Em
Take pleasure in your misery
      C              G
I'll revel in your shame
   D               Em
A little festive schadenfreude
     C            G
And wicked party games
    D                    Em
So take your chance to steal
              C           G
All that you covet every day
    D                     Em
Betray your friends and break their hearts
     C               G
Come on and make a play
       D           Em
They'd only do the same to you
    C               G
So don't regret a thing
            D             Em
Bring your deceits to the table
     C               G
And let the feast begin
 
 
[Chorus]
    Am
The Lord of Misrule
     F
Lord of the feast of fools
    Dm
Not mischievous but cruel
Em
Lord of Misrule
      Am
I'll bring you to your knees
           F
Before festivities begin
C          Bm
I may be a lord
      E
But please don't let me in

[Verse 3]
   Am
So face the sun until
      F
The shadow falls behind you
       Dm
'Cause I'm the Lord and I
     Em
Will always find you
