"What do I do next?" said the bishop to the priest,
          Am                             C              D
"I have spent my whole life waiting, preparing for the feast,
     Em                        G 
And now you say Jerusalem has fallen and is lost,
     Am                          C          D     Em
The king of heathen Saracen has seized the holy cross,"

           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,
         Em                         G
For the noblemen and sinners, and knights of ready hand,
          Am                           C           D        Em  D C
Who will be the Lord's Crusader, send word through all the land, 

       D      Em  D C
Jerusalem is lost,
       D      Em  D C
Jerusalem is lost,
       D      Em
Jerusalem is lost,

  Em                            G
"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,
      Em                         G
They tell me that Jerusalem has fallen to the hand,
           Am                              C          D    Em
Of some bedeviled eastern Heathen who has seized the Holy Land,"

           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,
       Em                             G
All Christian men must be as one and gather for the fight,
     Am                      C       D       Em D C
You will be their leader, begin the battle cry, 

       D      Em  D C
Jerusalem is lost,
       D      Em  D C
Jerusalem is lost,
       D      Em   F
Jerusalem is lost,

      Am                               F
Ooh, high on a hill, in the town of Jerusalem,
        Am                            F
There stood Saladin, the king of the Saracens,
  G                        E7                   Am           G     F
Whoring and drinking and snoring and sinking, around him his army lay,
   C                          E7             Am
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,"
      G                       E7
In a rage Saladin struck him down with his knife,
                 Am                   F
And he said "I know that this man lies,
      C                       E7                    Am
They quarrel too much, the Christians could never unite! 

F  G     Am      F          E
 I am invincible, I am the king,
F  G     Am           F  G    Am  G F  G         Am  G F
 I am invincible, and I will win...    I will win,

  Am                                       F
Closer they came, the army of Richard the Lionheart,
 Am                                           F
Marching by day and night, with soldiers from every part,
      G                     E7                          Am        F
And when the Crusaders came over the mountain and they saw Jerusalem,
      C                        E7              Am
They fell to their knees and prayed for her release,

       Am                         F
They started the battle at dawn, taking the city by storm,
      Am
With horsemen and bowmen and engines of war,
       F
They broke through the city walls,
     G                          E7
The Heathens were flying and screaming and dying,
           Am                    F
And the Christian swords were strong,
     C                   E7                  Am
And Saladin ran when he heard their victory song, 

F   G      Am      F            E
 We are invincible, God is the king,
F   G      Am            F  G    Am  F  Am F G C
 We are invincible, and we will win!

"What do I do now?" said the wise man to the fool,
          Am                               C               D
"I have spent my whole life searching, to find the Golden Rule,
        Em                              G
Though centuries have disappeared, the memory still remains,
         Am                 C                D    Em
Of those enemies together, could it be that way again?"

          Em                              G
Then the fool said "Oh you wise men, you really make me laugh,
           Am                          C                     D
With your talk of vast persuasion and searching through the past,
         Em                          G
There is only greed and evil in the men who fight today,
     Am                       C        D       Em D C
The song of the Crusader has long since gone away, 
 
       D      Em  D C
Jerusalem is lost,
       D      Em  D C
Jerusalem is lost,
       D      Em  D C

Jerusalem is lost,
       D      Em  D C
Jerusalem is lost,
       D      Em  D C
Jerusalem is lost,
