[Verse 1]
[Am]Once was a kingdom, far far [Bdim]away.[Dm]
[Am]Love was t[Dm]he rule [Am]of
[Bdim]the day.[Am]
[Dm]Nothing [Am]more [Dm]nothing [Am]less[Dm]
Than to [G]give your [Bdim]friend
your [Dm]best.
There's much more [Am]story
[G]that I [Bdim]could tell[Am]
[C]To make [G]the [Dm]hardest hearts [E]swell.

[Verse 2]
[E]This is [Bdim]the story[Am][Em]
[Dm]when love [E]was[Am] king[Dm].[Am]

[Verse 3]
[E]When [Dm]love was king,
do you [E]remember?
When [Am]love was king, when [Dm]love was king
I [Bdim]remember [E]when
[Am]love was king

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
He [G]ruled [Dm]the land,
with his [Am]fist [E]un [Esus4]furled[E]
[Am]With open arms for the world[C][Dm]
Of hungry children,
first he'd [G]think[Bdim][E][Am]
To pull [Dm]their lives [Am]from the brink[A]
[Dm]When love was king
He rescued souls lost [Am]in t[Dm]he sea
[G]In dri[Am]fting vessel he would
hear their [Dm]plea
When love was king
He threw a [Bdim]line before they'd si[Am]nk
And [Dm]gave the thirsty
[Am]ones a drink

[Verse 5]
[Dm]
He told the meek that they
should [E]try[Am]
To use [Dm]the sword to
[Am]smite [Dm]the lie
That being king is for the
[Bdim]weak
When love [E]was [Am]king
I [Dm]pray [G]the lord [Am]these words we seek

[Verse 6]
[Dm]When love was king
He showed [E]respect for
every [Am]man[E]
[Am]Regardless of [D]their skin [Dm]or clan
Beside him stood [Bdim]his
[E]mighty [Am]queen
and equal [Dm]force wise [A]and [Dm]keen
He lifted [Am]up t[Dm]he un
[G]der[E]neath[Am]
And all his wealth he did bequeath
To [Dm]those who toiled [F]with out [Dm]a gain[E][Am]
SO they would remember
his reign
[Em][Am]

[Verse 7]
[Dm]
So seek someplace to call
[E]you[Am]r own
Right next to this mighty shinning throne
When [Dm]love was [Bdim]king[E]

[Outro 1]
When love was king
