The Rise And Fall Of The Roman Empire

	  		C                                F 
Russell Roman took his brand new bride 

G7                                      C 
Across the threshold to their brand new life 

                              F 
With very little money in his jeans 

      G7                               C 
And a hundred million dollars worth of dreams 


C                                  F 
He took a job a the Congress Union Bank 

G7                                  C 
Worked hard to get ahead but drew a blank 

                                       F 
One day they paid him off and sent him home 

        G7                                C 
Then he swore he'd build an empire of his own 


            F                   G7                 C 
Through the years he worked and dreamed of a Roman empire 

       F               G7             C 
And he left his pretty young wife all alone 

    F                G7                C 
She didn't share his dreams of a Roman empire 

        F                G7           C 
All she dreamed of was a family and a home 


C                                             F 
Hard work and patience brought him wealth and fame 

    G7                                   C 
And he thought he was a winner in life's game 

                                     F 
Their empire stretched from Maine to Mexico 

        G7                             C 
She had everything but what she needed most 


C                                        F 
When at last her loneliness had run it's coarse 

    G7                           C 
The judge granted Mrs. Roman her divorce 

                                     F 
Now Russell Roman's empire seemed so small 

       G7                                C 
And as lifeless as the Rembrandts on the wall 


    F            G7                C 
The rise and the fall of the Roman empire 

     F              G7               C 
Is a lesson for the likes of you and me 

    F            G7                C 
The rise and the fall of the Roman empire 

   F            G7           C 
Is just another page in history 


C                                 F 
Russell Roman took the same sweet bride 

 G7                                 C 
Across the threshold for the second time 

                              F 
With very little money in his jeans 

    G7                           C 
And not one single dollar in his dreams 


           F            G7                C 
That's the fall and the rise of the Roman empire 

   F                  G7            C 
He gave their fortune to an orphans home 

    F            G7                C 
The fall and the rise of the Roman empire 

        F             G7             C 
Now his empire is his family and his home
