Verse 1
do next,
(G major) said the bishop to the priest?
(A minor) I have spent (A major) my whole life wait (A minor) ing,
prepar (C major) ing for the feast. (D major)
(E minor) Now you say Jerusalem has
(G major) fallen and is lost,
The King (A major) of heathen Sara (A minor) cen
has (C major) seized the Holy (D major) Cross. (E minor)
Then the priests said, O my bishop,
we (G major) must put them to the sword,
For (A minor) God in all his mercy
will find (C major) a just reward,
(D major) For the (E minor) noble men and sinners
and knight (G major) s of ready hand,
Who will be the (A minor) Lord's crusaders

(D major) (E minor)
Tell me what to do,
said the (G major) king upon his throne
But speak to me in whisper (A major) s,
for (A minor) we are not alone
(D major) They (E minor) tell me that Jerusalem has
(G major) fallen to the hand
of some bedeviled
Eastern (A minor) heathen
who has (C major) seized the (D major) Holy Land. (E minor) (E major)
Then the (E minor) Chamberlain said, (G major) Lord,
we must call upon our foes
(A minor) in Spain and France and Germany
to end (C major) our bitter wars.
(D major) All (E minor) Christian men must be as one
and (G major) gather for the fight.
You will (A minor) be their leader.
Begin (C major) the battle (D major) cry (E minor) (D major)
(C major)
Jerusalem is (D major) (E minor) lost (D major)
(C major) Jerusalem is (D major) (E minor) lost (D major)
(C major)
Jerusalem is (D major) (E minor) lost (E major) (E minor) (F major)
High (A minor) on a hill in the town of Jer (F major) usalem
There (A minor) stood Saladin,
the king of the (F major) Saracens
Whor (G major) ing and drinking and (G sharpdim) snoring
and sinking around (A minor) in his army bay (F major)
Se (C major) curing the knowledge
that (E major) he had won the day (A minor)
A messenger came, blood on his feet
and a wound (F major) in his chest
Chris (A minor) tians are coming, he said,
I have seen their cross (F major) in the west
In a (G major) rage, Saladin struck
him down (G sharpdim) with his knife
And he said, I (A minor) know that this man lies (F major)
They (C major) quarreled too much,
the (E major) Christians could never unite (A minor)
(F major) I (G major) am invincible, (A minor) I (F major) am the king
(E major) I (F major) (G major) have been de (A minor) livered and (F major) I will (G major) win (A minor) (F major)
I (G major) will win (A minor) (G major) (F major)
(G major) Closer (A minor) they came,
the army of Richard the Lion (F major) heart
March (A minor) ing by day and night,
with soldiers from (F major) every part.
And (G major) when the crusaders
came (G sharpdim) over the mountain
and they (A minor) saw Jerusalem, (F major)
They (C major) fell to their knees
and (E major) prayed for her release.
(A minor) They started the battle at dawn,
tak (F major) ing the city by storm.
With horsemen (A minor) and bowmen
and engines of war
They broke (F major) through the city walls
The (G major) heathens were flying
and (G sharpdim) screaming and (E major) dy ing
And the (A minor) Christian song was (F major) strong
And (C major) Satan didn't rant
when he (E major) heard their victory song (A minor)
(F major) We (G major) are invin (A minor) cible
God (F major) is the King
(E major) We (F major) (G major) are invin (A minor) cible and (F major) we (G major) will win (A minor)

Verse 2
(E minor) What do I do now,
said (G major) the wise man
To the fool I have spent
(A major) I've my whole life searching
to (C major) find the golden (D major) rule
Though (E minor) centuries have disappeared,
(G major) the memory still remains
of (A major) those enemies togeth (A minor) er
Could it be that (D major) way again? (E minor)
Then the fool said, oh you wise man,
(G major) you really make me laugh
With your talk (A major) of vast persuasion
and search (C major) ing through the past
(D major) There is only (E minor) greed and evil
in the (G major) men who fight today

(C major) Jerusalem is (D major) (E minor) lost (D major)
(C major)
Jerusalem (D major) is (E minor) the song (D major) (C major)
Jerusalem is (D major) the (E minor) song (D major)
