The King Is Dead

Intro: (Am   C   Em   G6/E) 4x
         (F   Fm)

Em                          C
    I have not come to worship you
              Am                      F
    Only flowers at your throne
Em                        C
    I have not come  to plead or beg
              Am                      F
    Or to claim what is my own

 C                                       B
    Oh I know you are the king
 C                                                B
    And you'll say you what is wrong

Em                  C
    I have come  to cut you down
                Am                      F
    And to leave your body dead
Em                          C
    You do not mean  so much to me
                   Am                      F
    Nor that crown upon your head

C                                       B
    You are just as sad as me
C                                            B
    You are lonely flesh and blood

Em                                   F       G         Am
    And the time has come   for you to die

         (F   Fm)

Em                              C
    And now you bleed,  please spare my life
                     Am                    F
    You know I'm the chosen one
Em                     C
    I don't believe what you bequeath
                       Am                      F
    And I must do what must be done

C                                         B
    You say you're the only king
C                                                B
    But your words just fall like rain

Em                                   F       G         Am  Em
    And the time has come   for you to die
