Abold king is dead! FmLong live the king!"
[verse 3]
FmOne minute I Dbsus2held the Absus4/Ebkey, Next the

FmAnd I discovered that my Dbsus2castles Absus4/Ebstand, upon
Abpillars of salt and Fmpillars of sand.
[Chorus]
I hDbear Jerusalem bEbsus4ells are ringing,
AbRoman Cavalry Fmchoirs are singing.
DbBe my mirror, my Ebsus4sword and shield,
AbMy missionaries Fmin a foreign field.
