 C                                Am
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
C                                Am
All the people came to hear him speak from miles around
      C                     Am
They hung on every word, a song in every sound
 C                                 Am
Heavy is the head that wears the crown

    C                                    Am
He touched the sky to light up all the stars
 C                                   Am
He could snap his fingers and catch lightning in a jar
C                        Am
I am you and you are me, we are who we are
 C                                   F
Touch the sky and light up all the stars

Chorus:
     C                   Em
All hail the king whose castle's falling down
     D                Am
The paper prince who wears a cardboard crown
 C                       Em
Poor man has his money, rich man has his gold
     D                   Am
All hail the king whose fortune is his
 C     Am    C    Am
Soul, soul, soul

He climbed the clouds to Heaven's highest hill
When you get that high the earth below looks just like a blue pill
Gave wind to all his horses, and to all his men good will
When he climbed down from Heaven's highest hill

Chorus

He breathed his last, they laid him in the ground
False prophets spoke of riches and said all hail to us now
The faithful wouldn't listen and they never would bow down
He breathed his last, they laid him in the ground

     C                   Em
All hail the king whose castle's falling down
     D                Am
The paper prince who wears a cardboard crown
 C                       Em
Poor man has his money, rich man has his gold
     D                   Am
All hail the king whose fortune is his
 C     Am
Soul, soul
 C     Am
Soul, soul
 C     Am
Soul, soul
 C     Am
Soul
