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

           Em                      
Then the priest said "Oh my bishop,
          G
 we must put them to the sword,
     Am                        C  
For God in all His mercy will find
           D
 a just reward,
         Em                      
For the noblemen and sinners, and 
   G
knights of ready hand,
          Am                    
Who will be the Lord's Crusader, 
       C           D        Em  D C
send word through all the land,

       D      Em  D C
Jerusalem is lost,

Jerusalem is lost,

  Em                            G
"Tell me what to do", said the king 
upon his throne,
       Am                         
"but speak to me in whispers for 
C           D
we are not alone,
      Em                       
They tell me that Jerusalem has 
  G
fallen to the hand,
           Am                    
Of some bedeviled eastern Heathen 
          C          D    Em
who has seized the Holy Land,"

           Em                      
Then the chamberlain said "Lord, we
       G
 must call upon our foes
     Am                            
In Spain and France and Germany to 
C               D
end our bitter wars,
       Em                          
All Christian men must be as one 
   G
and gather for the fight,

You will be their leader, begin

Jerusalem is lost,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

          Em                       
Then the fool said "Oh you wise 
       G
men, you really make me laugh,
           Am                    
With your talk of vast persuasion 
      C                     D
and searching through the past,
         Em                        
There is only greed and evil in the
  G
 men who fight today,
     Am                       C
