[F#]
[Bm]
In 776 BC, Olympics were begun [D] Greece was the only country, [E] so naturally we won
[G] Sheets built bronzes off [D] God's use, were we honest winners?
[Em]
The [G] answer's no, we have more [A] statues than [F#] you've had our [Bm] dinners
Outgain's mentrus was called [F#] in war a piece every four [D] years
But wrestling was so violent [G#] that bouts could end in [G] tears
No girls allowed to watch [D] or run, that might sound rude
[Em] But makes [G] sense when I tell [A] you we copy [F#] dead nude
[D]
Flame!
[Em] It's gonna burn [D]
forever
[G] Love [A] for Olympic [D] heroes
Flame!
[Em]
We'd like one next, [D] however
[G] Sadly [A] it's Emperor [Bm] Nero
Hey, what are you [F#] two, alright?
[Bm] I went from Rome to Greece [F#] so I could play them at their games
[D] In 67 AD, you [E] know I won Olympic fame
[G] I told them to include a [D] contest based on poetry
[Em] Not much [G] good for sportsmen, [A] no, but brilliant [F#] for me, [Bm] haha!
Crashed my racing [F#] chariot, but still awarded gold
[D] Hey, my Olympics, my [G#] rules, to argue would be bold
[G] I won every medal [D] that was up for grabs
[Em] The crowd blocked [G] it, well they had to, [A] or I would have [F#] had them stabbed, [D] okay?
Flame!
[Em] Olympic champion, [D] that's me
[G] My games [A] were [D] Emperor's own brand
Flame!
[Em] Think I was bad in [D]
393
[G] Christian [A]
Rome had [Bm] them banned
It's over, it's over, it's over, [B] it's over, it's over, it's over
[Bm] Shame!
Wait, not so fast
I'm Baron de [F#] Corbetin, a famous French historian
[G] I read of the Olympic [D] games, thought I should [A] try restoring [Bm] them
They'd be just like the old [F#] days, I said, but did propose
[G] That unlike Greeks, [A] Victorians should do them [F#] wearing [Bm] clothes
In 1896, we [F#] launched games in dear old Greece
[D] Hoped it would make men more [G#] moral as well as less obese
[G] We built a stadium so [D] we could start to play
[Em] Games of the [G] modern Olympics, [B] which we still have [F#]
[D] today
Flame!
[Em]
I'm of my [D] personal glory
[G] But no [A] one remembers [D] my name
Flame!
[Em] So here to finish [D] our story
[G]
I'm the one who [A] has gold [Bm] plates and fame
[F#] [Bm] I'm Jesse Owens, fastest [F#] man in 1936
[D] I took home four gold medals, [E] yeah, but that's just the basics
[G] What you should know about the fact [D] I was victorious
[Em] Is it made Hitler [G] mad, ha, [A] it made him [F#]
furious
[Bm] Vlisset Berlin should [F#] be the game's Germanic base
[D] So he could show the world [G#] Aryans were the master race
[G] I won him four events, he [D] had to backpedal
[Em] His evil [G] theory destroyed [A] with every [F#] medal
[D] Flame!
[Em] It's gonna burn [D]
forever
[G] Olympics [A] are never [D] endowed
Flame!
[Em] A fire of sporting [D] endeavour
[G] You realise it's [A] actually gone out
[Bm]
Olympic, Olympic, that's [C#] right
We [G] [F]
don't teach you at [D] school, the [F] past is no [G] longer [F] a mystery
[Dm] Hope you enjoyed [G] Horrible Histories
