A              C#m
  When the Emperor lost his bride

Dmaj7         Fdim           [ A ]
  At first he lay in bed and cried

A                  C#m
  Till she came to him in a dream

Dmaj7           Fdim
  With words of consolation
[Bridge]
 Dmaj7
‘Death is untrue, I’m merely sleeping

    Asus4       A         C#m
I’m waiting for you, in a world way beyond weeping

Dmaj7               Fdim
Join me there soon, until you’re mine

C#m               F#sus4   F#m  C#m
Build me a marble Valentine
[Chorus]
Bm7                 E7sus4              [ Dmaj7 ]
Let the world know, grief built the Taj Mahal’

A              C#m
  When the Emperor rubbed his eyes

Dmaj7      Fdim              [ A ]
  An azure morning filled the skies

A          C#m
  Energized by his dream,

Dmaj7     Fdim
  The Emperor was moved to
[Bridge]
Dmaj7
Summon his men, he ordered them ‘Find me

    Asus4      A              C#m
The whitest of stone, let its radiance remind me

   Dmaj7                Fdim
Of all I have lost, the source of my pain

    C#m                F#sus4 F#m  C#m
The joy that in time I will regain
[Chorus]

Let the world know, grief built the Taj Mahal
[Bridge]

       As for the cost

C#m                  F#sus4 F#m  C#m
What is the price of love unlost
[Chorus]
Bm7                 E7sus4              [ Dmaj7 ]
Let the world know, grief built the Taj Mahal’
