Am7
Hallelujah, the king is dead

        G
He said, "Love was the knife"

Am7
And now he'll dream

                               G
Some magic queen might try and save his life

Am7
They say his famous final words

               G
Came from the heart of the man

Am7
He made his bed on love denied

          G                                 C
He played Jeckyll and Hyde till the day he died
[Pre-Chorus]
D                 C
Too late for the young gun

           Em
To lead a simple life

Too late for the young gun

[Post-Chorus] N.C. See the mountains crumble
                  C
Feel the fire go cold
N.C. Summer will turn to winter
              C
Love will turn to stone
