When We Were Kings

D                         G         D
In every heart there is a drum that beats
D                              G        D
Steady and strong, it does not know defeat
          Bm                 G             D
I feel it pound and know the sound of true beliefs
D                         G   D
In every soul, there is a memory
D                              G        D
Of standing tall, the proudest we could be
         Bm            G                     D
I cannot fall, for I recall, we were born in majesty
             Em   D              Bm
And when the long night has been fought and won
C                  G
We'll stand in the sun

[Chorus]
                      D                            Bm
And we will raise our hands, and we will touch the sky
                 G                 A
Together we will dance in robes of gold
                      D  Em        G
And we will leave the world remembering
D            C   G               D
When we were kings, when we were kings

[Verse 2]
D                            G        D
Now is the time, here is the mountain top
D                                 G      D
When one man climbs, the rest are lifted up
           Bm                G               D
With every step we're closer yet to a higher destiny
            Em    D       Bm
And when we reach out, to claim the throne
C              G
Every man will know

[Chorus]
                      D                            Bm
And we will raise our hands, and we will touch the sky
                 G                 A
Together we will dance in robes of gold
                      D  Em        G
And we will leave the world remembering
D            C   G               D
When we were kings, when we were kings

D   x4

             Em   D              Bm
And when the long night has been fought and won
C                  G
We'll stand in the sun

[Chorus]
                      D                            Bm
And we will raise our hands, and we will touch the sky
                 G                 A
Together we will dance in robes of gold
                      D  Em        G
And we will leave the world remembering
D            C   G               D
When we were kings, when we were kings
