[Verse 1]
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

This is...

This is the year of the knife

This is the year of the knife

See the mountains crumble

Feel the fire go cold

Summer will turn to winter

Love will turn to stone
