Elton John - The King Must Die: chords

Dm7                        G         C/G G
No man's a jester playing Shakespeare
F                        G   Gsus4 G
Round your throne room floor
           Gm7
While the juggler's act is danced upon
A7sus4          A        Dm7  G/D
The crown that you once wore

And sooner or later
Everybody's kingdom must end
And I'm so afraid your courtiers
Cannot be called best friends

Chorus:
G
Caesar's had your troubles
Dm      C      Dm C Dm
Widows had to cry
G
While mercenaries in cloisters sing
E7/G#            Asus4 A7
And the king must die

Some men are better staying sailors
Take my word and go
But tell the ostler that his name was
The very first they chose

And if my hands are stained forever
And the altar should refuse me, yeah
Would you let me in, would you let me in,
would you let me in?
Should I cry sanctuary?

Chorus:
Caesar's had your troubles
Widows had to cry
While mercenaries in cloisters sing
And the king must die, yeah!
The king must die
The king must die, oh, yeah

No man's a jester playing Shakespeare
'Round your throne room floor
While the juggler's act is danced upon
The crown that you once wore

G/D           Dm7  Am A7
The king must die
G/D           Dm7  Am A7
The king must die
G/D           Dm7  Am A7
The king must die

G/D          Dm7  Dm- Dm/C A#maj7Am7
The king is dead
A#   Am   Dsus4 D
Long live the  king
