Bm F# [Verse 1: Greek Man 1] Bm In 776BC F# Olympics were begun D Greece was the only country E So naturally we won G Cheats built bronzes of God Zeus D Were we honest winners Em The answer's no, we had more statues A F# Than you've had hot dinners [Verse 1: Greek Man 2] Bm Our games meant truce was called in war F# A peace every 4 years D But wrestling was so violent E That bouts could end in tears G No girls allowed to watch or run D That might sound rude Em But makes sense when I tell you A F# We competed nude [Chorus 1] D Flame! Em D It's gonna burn forever G A D Love for Olympic heroes (Flame!) Em D We'd like one next, however G A Bm F# Sadly it's Emperor Nero [Verse 2: Nero] N.C. (spoken) Hey watch it you two, alright Bm I went from Rome to Greece F# So I could play them at their games D In 67AD you know E I won Olympic fame G I told them to include a contest D Based on poetry Em Not much good for sportsmen, no A F# But brilliant for me Bm Crashed my racing chariot F# But still awarded gold D Hey, my Olympics, my rules E To argue would be bold G I won every medal D That was up for grabs Em The crowd loved it, well they had to A F# Or I would have had them stabbed, OK [Chorus 2] D Flame! [Nero] Em D Olympic champion that's me G A D My games were Emperor's own brand (Flame!) Em D Think I was bad, in 393 G A Bm Christian Rome had them banned [All] Bm It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over [Nero] N.C. Shame! [Verse 3:Baron de Coubertin] N.C. (spoken) Wait, not so fast! Bm I'm Baron de Coubertin F# A famous French historian D I read of the Olympic Games E Thought I should try restoring them G They'd be just like the old days D I said, but did propose Em That unlike Greeks, Victorians A F# Should do them wearing clothes Bm In 1896 relaunched F# The games in dear old Greece D Hoped it would make men more moral E As well as less obese G Rebuilt a stadium D So we could start to play Em Games of the modern Olympics A F# Which we still have today [Chorus 3] D Flame! [Baron de Coubertin] Em D I'm owed my personal glory G A D But no-one remembers my name (Flame!) Em D So here to finish our story G A Bm F# A man who has gold plated fame [Verse 4:Jesse Owens] Bm I'm Jesse Owens F# Fastest man in 1936 D I took home 4 gold medals, yeah E But that's just the basics G What you should know D About the fact I was victorious Em Is, it made Herr Hitler mad A F# Ha, it made him Führer-ious! Bm Hitler said Berlin should be F# The games' Germanic base Bm So he could show the world F# Aryans were the master race D I won in 4 events E He had to back pedal G His evil theory A F# Destroyed with every medal [Chorus 4] D Flame! Em D It's gonna burn forever G A D Olympics are never in doubt (Flame!) Em D A fire of sporting endeavour [Greek Man 2] G A Bm (spoken) You realise it's actually gone out [All] Bm Olympic, Olympic Flame!
