[Verso 1] C F It was the Holy Roman Empires final afternoon Am G The waning Caesar leaned against his golden throne C F He saw the seven hills and seven seas and Am G Issued one final decree C F A survey given all of Rome Am G I hope youve enjoyed your time here C F Please rate it on a scale of one to five here Am G Five is highest, so youll please say five here C F Please say five, please say five Am G Please say five for me [Verso 2] C F The Visigoths, in stupid uniforms, lined up at the gates Am G They were just violent, no refinement or good taste C F Thats when Caesar wept, cause Caesar knew Am G Sometimes thats all you can do C F For the hour was getting late [Refrão] C F Were fading like the Holy Roman Empire Am G I wish I would have held you closer C F I wish Id kept more so I could remember Am G Remember you, remember you C F Am G Please remember me [Ponte] C F We were glorious, powerful Am G We were fortunate, beautiful C F We were fearless and invincible Am G We were careless and corruptible C F What we had was lost in fire Am G Like the Holy Roman Empire Outro C F A star was shining over Bethlehem and everybodys bags and mules Am G Were packed and they were bound for Christendom C F Caesar tried to take the high road so Am G He said, Thats cool, youre moving on C F But hell if we didnt have some times! Am G Now sing for Rome
