Long Live The King

F#m                              E
Dreams are seldom shattered, by a bullet in the dark
F#m                                A            E
Rulers come and rulers go, will our kingdom fall apart?
F#m                               E
Who shall we now turn to, when our leaders lost their heart?
F#m                                       A               E
Lives are lost but at what cost, will the grand dream fall apart?


[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                         A                E
Killed by his own or by his foes, turned the tide
Bm                    A                 C#
300 years still no one knows, the secret remains


[Chorus]
F#m   C#m7      A      Bm                       A         E
Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand, long live Carolus
F#m      C#m7      A     Bm                      A         E       F#m
Brought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland, long live Carolus Rex


[Verse 2]
F#m                                 E
Brought him back to Sweden, where we put him in a chest
F#m                            A                E
Years of war and agony, now the king can finally rest
F#m                              E
What will be uncovered, from that cold November night
F#m                                       A            E
Fredrikshald, what happened there, will it ever come to light?'


[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                         A                E
Killed by his own or by his foes, turned the tide
Bm                    A                C#
300 years still no one knows, the secret remains


[Chorus]
F#m   C#m7      A      Bm                       A         E
Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand, long live Carolus
F#m       C#m7     A    Bm                       A         E      F#m
Brought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland, long live Carolus Rex


[Guitar Solo]


[Bridge]
Bm
For their honor
C#m7
For their glory
       A       E          F#m
For the men who fought and bled
Bm           C#m7                  C#
A soldier from Sweden remembers the dead


[Chorus]
F#m   C#m7      A      Bm                       A         E
Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand, long live Carolus
F#m      C#m7      A     Bm                      A         E       F#m
Brought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland, long live Carolus Rex


[Chorus with spoken lyrics]
F#m          C#m7      Bm                       A         E
Broken dreams so grand, sing of his final stand, long live Carolus
F#m       C#m7           Bm
Brought by soldiers hand, back to the fatherland
A C#m7  F#m
Carolus Rex!
