               Em                                 G
    Then the Priest said "Oh my Bishop, we must put them to the sword,
        Am                         C             D
    for God in all His mercy will find a just reward,

    for the Noblemen and sinners, and Knights of ready hand

2. "Tell me what to do," said the King upon his throne,
           Am                           C           D
    "But speak to me in whispers, for we are not alone.

    They tell me that Jerusalem has fallen to the hand

               Em                              G
    Then the Chamberlain said "Lord, we must call upon our foes
        Am                              C              D
    in Spain and France and Germany to end our bitter wars,

3. Oh, high on a hill, in the town of Jerusalem ,
            Am                            F
    there stood Saladin, the King of the Saracens,

    secure in the knowledge that he had won the day;
      Am                                        F
   A messenger came, blood on his feet and a wound in his chest,
           Am                                                  F
   "The Christians are coming!" he said, "I have seen their Cross in the West".

    In a rage Saladin struck him down with his knife, he said "I know that this man lies,
          C                       E                     Am

    marching by day and night, with soldiers from every part.

    they fell to their knees and prayed for her release.

    They started the battle at dawn, taking the city by storm ,
          Am                                             F
    with horsemen and bowmen and engines of war, they broke through the city walls.

    The heathens were flying and screaming and dying,

4. "What do I do now?" said the Wise man to the Fool, 
            Am                                C               D
    "I`ve spent my whole life searching, to find the Golden Rule. 
            Am                                G
    Though centuries have disappeared,  the memory still remains
