A# D#
Russell Roman took his brand new bride
F7 A#
Across the threshold to their brand new life
D#
With very little money in his jeans
F7 A#
And a hundred million dollars worth of dreams
A# D#
He took a job a the Congress Union Bank
F7 A#
Worked hard to get ahead but drew a blank
D#
One day they paid him off and sent him home
F7 A#
Then he swore he'd build an empire of his own
D# F7 A#
Through the years he worked and dreamed of a Roman empire
D# F7 A#
And he left his pretty young wife all alone
D# F7 A#
She didn't share his dreams of a Roman empire
D# F7 A#
All she dreamed of was a family and a home
A# D#
Hard work and patience brought him wealth and fame
F7 A#
And he thought he was a winner in life's game
D#
Their empire stretched from Maine to Mexico
F7 A#
She had everything but what she needed most
A# D#
When at last her loneliness had run it's coarse
F7 A#
The judge granted Mrs. Roman her divorce
D#
Now Russell Roman's empire seemed so small
F7 A#
And as lifeless as the Rembrandts on the wall
D# F7 A#
The rise and the fall of the Roman empire
D# F7 A#
Is a lesson for the likes of you and me
D# F7 A#
The rise and the fall of the Roman empire
D# F7 A#
Is just another page in history
A# D#
Russell Roman took the same sweet bride
F7 A#
Across the threshold for the second time
D#
With very little money in his jeans
F7 A#
And not one single dollar in his dreams
D# F7 A#
That's the fall and the rise of the Roman empire
D# F7 A#
He gave their fortune to an orphans home
D# F7 A#
The fall and the rise of the Roman empire
D# F7 A#
Now his empire is his family and his home
