Tom: Em Em G 1. "What do I do next?" said the Bishop to the Priest, Am C D "I have spent my whole life waiting, preparing for the Feast, Em G and now you say Jerusalem has fallen and is lost, Am C Dm Em the King of Heathen Saracen has seized the Holy Cross;" Em G Then the Priest said "Oh my Bishop, we must put them to the sword, Am C D for God in all His mercy will find a just reward, Em G for the Noblemen and sinners, and Knights of ready hand Am C D Em- D - C who will be the Lord's Crusader, send word through all the land, D Em-D-C D Em-D-C D Em Jerusalem is lost, Jerusalem is lost, Jerusalem is lost;" Em G 2. "Tell me what to do," said the King upon his throne, Am C D "But speak to me in whispers, for we are not alone. Em G They tell me that Jerusalem has fallen to the hand Am C D Em of some bedevilled Eastern heathen who has seized the Holy Land." Em G Then the Chamberlain said "Lord, we must call upon our foes Am C D in Spain and France and Germany to end our bitter wars, Em G all Christian men must be as one and gather for the fight, Am C D Em- D - C you will be their leader, begin the Battle cry, D Em-D-C D Em-D-C D Em Jerusalem is lost, Jerusalem is lost, Jerusalem is lost". F Am F 3. Oh, high on a hill, in the town of Jerusalem, Am F there stood Saladin, the King of the Saracens, G E Am F whoring and drinking and snoring and singing, around him his army lay, C E Am secure in the knowledge that he had won the day; Am F A messenger came, blood on his feet and a wound in his chest, Am F "The Christians are coming!" he said, "I have seen their Cross in the West". G E Am F In a rage Saladin struck him down with his knife, he said "I know that this man lies, C E Am they quarrel too much, the Christians could never unite! F G Am F E F G Am F G AmGF-FG I am invincible, I am the King, I am invincible, and I will win, AmGF-FG I will win!" Am F 3. Closer they came, the army of Richard the Lionheart, Am F marching by day and night, with soldiers from every part. G E Am F And when the Crusaders came over the mountains and they saw Jerusalem, C E Am they fell to their knees and prayed for her release. Am F They started the battle at dawn, taking the city by storm, Am F with horsemen and bowmen and engines of war, they broke through the city walls. G E The heathens were flying and screaming and dying, Am F C E a and the Christian swords were strong,and Saladin ran when he heard their victory song; F G Am F E F Am F G AmGF-FgAm-AmGF-FG "We are invincible, God is the King, we are invincible, and we will win!" Em G 4. "What do I do now?" said the Wise man to the Fool, Am C D "I`ve spent my whole life searching, to find the Golden Rule. Am G Though centuries have disappeared, the memory still remains Am C D Em of those enemies together, could it be that way again?" Em G Am Then the Fool said "Oh you Wise men, you really make me laugh, with your talk of C D Em vast persuasion and searching through the past. There is only greed and evil in the G Am C D Em D - C men who fight today, the Song of the Crusader has long since gone away.
