(Just before the verse stop strumming c right before she sings)
Verse (G,C,Em,D,C)
G C
I said remember this moment, in the back of my mind
Em
The time we stood with our shaking hands
D C
The crowds and stands went wild
G
We were the Kings and the Queens
C
And they read off our names
Em
The night you danced like you knew our lives
D C
Would never be the same
G
You held your head like a hero
C
On a history book page
Em
It was the end of a decade
D C (Stop strumming before start of the chorus)
But the start of an age
G C
Long live the walls we crashed through
Em D
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
G C
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
Em
And bring on all the pretenders
D(one strum)
One day we will be remembered
Formula for the rest of the song is pretty much exactly the same. You wont have
too much trouble following along.... its just too long a song to continue doing
this any long. Sorry.. some minor background guitar that i may get around to
tabbing out sometime cuz it sounds fun to jam with.
rest of the lyrics posted below

I said remember this feeling
I passed the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there
On the side-lines wishing for right now
We are the Kings and the Queen
You trade your basevall cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we help them up for our town
And the cynics were outraged
Screaming this is absurd
Cause for a moment a band of theives
In ripped up jeans got to rule the world
Long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
I'm not afraid
Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
I was screaming long live the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered
Hold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall
Will you take a moment, promise me this
That you'll stand by my forever
But if god forbid fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye
If you have children some day
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how our hope it shined
Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life with you
Long, long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
I'm not afraid
Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
I was screaming long live the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered
