[Intro]
D x4
[Verse 1]
D G D
In every heart there is a drum that beats
D G D
Steady and strong, it does not know defeat
Bm G D
I feel it pound and know the sound of true beliefs
D G D
In every soul, there is a memory
D G D
Of standing tall, the proudest we could be
Bm G D
I cannot fall, for I recall, we were born in majesty
Em D Bm
And when the long night has been fought and won
C G
We'll stand in the sun
[Chorus]
D Bm
And we will raise our hands, and we will touch the sky
G A
Together we will dance in robes of gold
D Em G
And we will leave the world remembering
D C G D
When we were kings, when we were kings
[Verse 2]

Now is the time, here is the mountain top
D G D
When one man climbs, the rest are lifted up
Bm G D
With every step we're closer yet to a higher destiny
Em D Bm
And when we reach out, to claim the throne
C G
Every man will know
[Chorus]
D Bm
And we will raise our hands, and we will touch the sky
G A
Together we will dance in robes of gold
D Em G
And we will leave the world remembering
D C G D
When we were kings, when we were kings

And we will raise our hands, and we will touch the sky

And we will leave the world remembering
