C
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
C
They say his famous final words
                G 
Came from the heart of the man
Am7
He made his bed on love denied
           G                                F Em
He played Jeckyll and Hyde till the day he died

D                 C
Too late for the young gun
           Em
To lead a simple life
D                 C
Too late for the young gun

Chorus:
C
This is...
Em                        C
This is the year of the knife
D                         Am C
This is the year of the knife
Em                        C
This is the year of the knife
D                         Am C
This is the year of the knife
Em                        C
This is the year of the knife
D                         Am C
This is the year of the knife

See the mountains crumble
                  C
Feel the fire go cold
Summer will turn to winter
Love will turn to stone

They say his famous final words
Came from the heart of man
I made his bed on love denied
Now I ain't gonna sleep tonight

Too late for the young gun
To lead a simple life
Too late for the young gun

The sun and the moon
The sun and the moon
The wind... and the rain

Chorus:
This is the year of the knife
This is the year of the knife
This is the year of the knife
This is the year of the knife
This is the year of the knife
This is the year of the knife
This is the year of the knife
This is the year of the knife
This is the year of the knife
This is the year of the knife
This is the year of the knife
This is the year of the knife
This is the year of the knife
This is the year of the knife

Too late, much too late
Too late for the young gun

This is the year of the knife
