[Ebm] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Fm] _
[Abm] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [B] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _
[Ebm] There [Gb] was a king [B] _
living [Db] carefree [Abm] He wanted [Bbm] the world, he [B]
wanted _ [Db] everything
[Ebm] He ruled with [Gb] a fist, [B] his people [Db] were starved [Abm] He watched as [Bbm] they begged [B] behind his [Gbm] castle
[Db] _ [Ebm] guard _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [B] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ebm] _
Diamonds [Gb] and pearls, [B] _
_ emeralds and [Bb] gold
[Abm] He bathed in [Bbm] the riches [B]
only he [Db] could know [Ebm] But with time came age, [B] his health in [Bbm] decline
The [Abm] fate of [Bbm] his legacy [B]
left to [Db] the tide [Ebm] So he ran [Gb] to his queen and [B] _
demanded a [Bbm] child
[Abm] _
Planted [Bbm] his seed then [B] he cast her [Db] _ aside [Ebm] _
Several [Gb] months later [B] she bore him a [Bbm] son
[Abm] But died just [Eb] to [Bbm] give him [B] his own flesh [Db] and blood
[Ebm] _ _ _ Oooooh, _ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] ooooh
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [B]
The _ _ [Db] _ _ [B]
son [Gb] grew like wheat, [B] he soon was [Db] eighteen He [Abm] ventured [Gb] outside of [B] the castle [Bbm] to see
[Ebm] The faces [Gb] so gaunt, [B] the dead in the [Bb] street [Abm] They cried out [Bbm] for help but [Abm]
nobody [Db] could hear
[Ebm]
Deep down inside him something had [Db] stirred [Abm] He laughed at [Bbm] the ruins [B] his father [Eb] _ [Db] incurred
[B]
Far in [Gb] his veins he [Ebm] stormed back to the [Abm] throne Stared down the [Bbm] king with [Abm] a rage [Gb] still [Db] _ unknown
[Ebm] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ [Db] The _ [Ebm] father _ _ decreed [B] a new rule [Gb] of law [Abm] His son to [Eb] be banished [Abm]
outside of [Gb] the walls
[Abm] The son had a plan and his heart was [Bb] convinced [F] There'd never [Bbm] be room for [Abm] both king and a prince
[Ebm] _
He rallied [Gb] the people [B] in charge through the [Bbm] gates [Abm]
Shield in [Bbm] one hand but [Abm] the other a [Bb] blade
[Ebm] _
One [Gb] fell swoop his [B] own father [Bb] _ deposed [Abm] He sat on [Bbm] the throne and [B]
adorned his new [Db] _ [Ebm] crown
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ The [Ebm] son was [Gb] elated, the kingdom was [Bbm] his _ [Abm] _
Diamonds [Bbm] and emeralds [B] and gold plated [Db] bliss
[Ebm] But what of [Gb] the people?
The legends don't [Db] say _ [Abm] Just like [Bbm] a memory [B] they faded _ [Db] away
_ [Ebm] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Abm] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ [Ebm]
There was [Gb] a king _ [B]
living _ [Db] carefree [Abm] He wanted [Bbm] the world, he [B]
wanted _ [Gbm] everything
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
