"What Emdo I do next?" said the Bishop to the PriestG,
"I have spent Amy whole life waiting, preparing for the feasCt, D
And now yEmou say Jerusalem has fallen and is losGt,
The kingA of Heathen Saracen has seized the holy croCss." D Em
Then the PriestEm said "Oh my Bishop, we must put them to the sword, G
For GodA in all his mercy will find a just reCward, D
For the noblEme men and sinners, and knights of ready hGand
Who will be theA Lord's crusader, send word through all the Cland, D Em D
CJerusaleDm is losEmt, D
CJerusaleDm is losEmt, D

"Tell me what to do", said the King upon his throne,
"but speak to me in whispers for we are not alone,
They tell me that Jerusalem has fallen to the hand
Of some bedevilled Eastern heathen who has seized the Holy land;"
Then the Chamberlain said "Lord, we must call upon our foes
In Spain and France and Germany to end our bitter wars,
All Christian men must be as one and gather for the fight,
You will be their leader, begin the battle cry,
Jerusalem is lost,
Jerusalem is lost,
CJerusaleDm is losEmt"...F
Ooh, highAm on a hill, in the town of Jerusalem, F
TherGe stooAmd Saladin, the king of the Saracens, F
GWhoring and drinking and snoring and siE7nkiGng, around him his army lay, Am G F
SecureC in the knowledge that he had won the E7day; Am
A messenger came, blood on his feet and a wound in his chest, F
G"The CAmhristians are coming!" he said, "I have seen their cross in the West," F
In a ragGe Saladin struck him down with his knife
And he said "I know thaAmt this man liGes, F
They quarrCel too much, the Christians coulE7d never unite! Am

Close they came, the army of Richard the Lionheart,
Marching by day and night, with soldiers from every part,
And when the Crusaders came over the mountain and they saw Jerusalem,
They fell to their knees and prayed for her release;
They started the battle at dawn, taking the city by storm,
With horsemen and bowmen and engines of war,
They broke through the city walls,
The Heathens were flying and screaming and dying,
And the Christian swords were strong,
And Saladin ran when he heard their victory song;
"We are invincible, God is the King,
We are invincible, and we will win!"
"What do I do now?" said the Wiseman to the Fool,
"I have spent my whole life waiting, to find the Golden Rule,
Though centuries have disappeared, the memory still remains
Of those enemies together, could it be that way again?"
Then the Fool said "Oh you Wise men, you really make me laugh,
With your talk of vast persuasion and searching through the past,
There is only greed and evil in the men that fight today,
The Song of the Crusader has long since gone away,
C JerusaleDm is losEmt, D
C JerusaleDm is losEmt, D
C Jerusalem isD lost.C..
JerusalDem.E"
