Holy Roman Empire

[Verso 1]
 
C                  F 
It was the Holy Roman Empires final afternoon 
Am                           G 
The waning Caesar leaned against his golden throne 
C                  F 
He saw the seven hills and seven seas and 
Am                 G 
Issued one final decree 

C                  F 
A survey given all of Rome 
Am                     G 
I hope youve enjoyed your time here 
C                   F 
Please rate it on a scale of one to five here 
Am                  G 
Five is highest, so youll please say five here 

C                  F 
Please say five, please say five 
Am                 G 
Please say five for me 
 


[Verso 2]
 
C                               F 
The Visigoths, in stupid uniforms, lined up at the gates 
Am                      G 
They were just violent, no refinement or good taste 
C                       F 
Thats when Caesar wept, cause Caesar knew 
Am                   G 
Sometimes thats all you can do 

C                  F 
For the hour was getting late 
 


[Refrão]
 
C                  F 
Were fading like the Holy Roman Empire 
Am                 G 
I wish I would have held you closer 
C                  F 
I wish Id kept more so I could remember 
Am                 G 
Remember you, remember you 

C                F Am G 
Please remember me 
 


[Ponte]
 
C                  F 
We were glorious, powerful 
Am              G 
We were fortunate, beautiful 
C                F 
We were fearless and invincible 
Am                G 
We were careless and corruptible 

C                  F 
What we had was lost in fire 
Am                 G 
Like the Holy Roman Empire 
 

Outro 
C                            F 
A star was shining over Bethlehem and everybodys bags and mules 
Am                    G 
Were packed and they were bound for Christendom 
C                      F 
Caesar tried to take the high road so 
Am                 G 
He said, Thats cool, youre moving on 

C                  F 
But hell if we didnt have some times! 
Am              G 
Now sing for Rome
