E                              A E
He be the count of Monte Cristo
E                       A E
Could be a quake any day
E                       A E
Maybe somebody from Siam
                            F# B F#
Begin the era of a new Reich

                       B   F#  A D
Keeps licking all the honey
                         D F# B F#
Chewing up the fat he rakes
                            B  F# B
Instead of sending to the lions
                      D
They cover him with praise

Chorus:
G  E G E  G  E G A
All hail Caesar
Hail! Hail!
All hail Caesar
Hail! Hail!

F#   B      F#                                  F# B
Down at the epicenter, things started heatin' up
F#
Rocking up the Richter scale
         B       F#                              B
Swinging in the chariot, around and around, we go
     F#                       A D
The senators rehearse the tale

A                  D A  A D
Starring in the coliseum
               D A D
Tied upon the rack
A                   D   A    B
Up, comes the thumb of Caesar
                    D
To stab you in the back

Chorus:
All hail Caesar
Hail! Hail!
All hail Caesar
Hail! Hail!

E
Down at the epicenter,
things started heatin' up
Rocking on the Richter scale
Swingin' in the chariot,
around and around, we go
As the senators rehearse the tale
E                G E G E G E G A E
Watch out, Caesar
E                G E G E G E G A E
Watch out, Caesar
A         E   A E
I said, "Hail"
              D G E
I said, "Hail"
              A E
I said, "Hail"
              A E
I said, "Hail"

E A E     A E
     Hail!
     A E
Hail!

Hail!

Hail!

Hail!

Hail!

Hail!
Hail!

All hail Caesar
Hail! Hail!
All hail Caesar
Hail! Hail!

All hail Caesar
Hail! Hail!
All hail Caesar
Hail! Hail!

A
You need eyes in the back of your head, boy
Or you're dead
