[Verse 1]
[Em]I gr[Am]ew up[F] in[F#dim] your hom[B]etown[Em],[C]
at [Dm]least [D]began to [Em]grow
I [Am]hadn't got to my first [F]shave be
[F#dim]fore the body blow[G]
[Am]Egyptians in the court[G]yard,
my [C]family in [D]chains
You [Em]witnessed our ab[C]duction
which [F#dim]possibly [B]Explains

[Verse 2]
How I [Em]know [Am]you[F#dim][B]
How I know [Em]you

[Verse 3]
Before that fateful [C]morning
my [D]family en[Em]joyed
A [Am]privileged [F]existence,
for my [F#dim]father wa[D]s employe[G]d
As ad[Am]visor to [G]the king, no less,
[C]which surely rings a [D]Bell
For [Em]as you are his d[C]aughter,
you [F#dim]probably can [B]tell

[Verse 4]
How I [Em]know [Am]you[F][F#dim][B]
How I know [Em]you

[Interlude 1]
[C][F#dim]
[B][C][Am][F#dim][B]

[Verse 5]
[Em]Enough of reminis[C]cence,
and [D]such happy memor[Em]ies
The [Am]reason why I know [F]you well [F#dim]is
really [D]none of [G]These
It's just you [Am]reek of roy[G]alty,
[C]you ooze uncommon Gra[D]ce
I'd [Em]know you were [C]a princess,
in [F#dim]any time and place
[B]

[Verse 6]
Yes I [Em]know you
[Am]How I know you[F#dim][B]
Yes I [Em]know [C]you[F#dim][B]
How [Em]I know[Am][F][F#dim][B]
[C]you[Am]

[Outro 1]
[F#dim][B][Em]
