Em Em                          G G
What do I do next? said the Bishop to the Priest
A A C C D D
I have spent my whole life waiting, preparing for the feast
Em Em G G
and now you say Jerusalem has fallen and is lost
A A C C D D Em Em
the king of heathen Saracen has seized the holy cross

Em Em G G
Then the Priest said Oh my Bishop, we must put them to the sword
A A C C D D
for God in all his mercy will find a just reward
Em Em G G
for the noble men and sinners, and knights of ready hand
A A C C D D Em Em D D
who will be the Lord's crusader, send word through all the land

C C D D Em Em D D
Jerusalem is lost
C C D D Em Em D D
Jerusalem is lost
C C D D Em Em
Jerusalem is lost

Em Em G G
Tell me what to do, said the King upon his throne
A A C C D D
but speak to me in whispers for we are not alone
Em Em G G
they tell me that Jerusalem has fallen to the hand
A A C C D D Em Em
of some bedevilled Eastern heathen who has seized the Holy land

Em Em G G
Then the Chamberlain said Lord, we must call upon our foes
A A C C D D
in Spain and France and Germany to end our bitter wars
Em Em G G
all Christian men must be as one and gather for the fight
A A C C D D Em Em D D
You will be their leader, begin the battle cry

C C D D Em Em D D
Jerusalem is lost
C C D D Em Em D D
Jerusalem is lost
C C D D Em Em
Jerusalem is lost

Am Am F F
Ooh, high on a hill, in the town of Jerusalem
Am Am F F
there stood Saladin, the king of the Saracens
G G E7 E7 Am Am G G F F
whoring and drinking and snoring and sinking, around him his army lay
C C E7 E7 Am Am
secure in the knowledge that he had won the day

Am Am F F
A A messenger came, blood on his feet and a wound in his chest
Am Am F F
the Christians are coming he said, I have seen their cross in the West
G G E7 E7
in a rage Saladin struck him down with his knife
Am Am G G F F
and said I know that this man lies
C C E7 E7 Am Am
they quarrel too much, the Christians could never unite

F F G G Am Am F F E E
I am invincible, I am the king
F F G G Am Am F F G G Am Am G G
I am invincible, and I will win
F F G G Am Am
I will win

Am Am F F
Closer they came, the army of Richard the Lionheart
Am Am F F
marching by day and night, with soldiers from every part
G G E7 E7 Am Am G G F F
and when the Crusaders came over the mountain and they saw Jerusalem
C C E7 E7 Am Am
they fell to their knees and prayed for her release

Am Am F F
They started the battle at dawn, taking the city by storm
Am Am F F
with horsemen and bowmen and engines of war, they broke through the city walls
G G E7 E7 Am Am G G F F
the heathens were flying and screaming and dying, And the Christian swords were strong
C C E7 E7 Am Am
and Saladin ran when he heard their victory song

F F G G Am Am F F E E
We are invincible, God is the king
F F G G Am Am F F G G Am Am G G
we are invincible, and we will win
F F G G Am Am
we will win

Em Em G G
What do I do now? said the wise man to the fool
A A C C D D
I have spent my whole life waiting, to find the Golden Rule
Em Em G G
though centuries have disappeared, the memory still remains
A A C C D D Em Em
of those enemies together, could it be that way again?

Em Em G G
Then the fool said Oh you wise men, you really make me laugh
A A C C D D
with your talk of vast persuasion and searching through the past
Em Em G G
there is only greed and evil in the men that fight today
A A C C D D Em Em
the Song of the Crusader has long since gone away

C C D D Em Em - D D
Jerusalem is lost,
C C D D Em Em - D D
Jerusalem is lost,
C C D D C C D D E E
Jerusalem is lost
