F A#
Russell Roman took his brand new bride
C7 F
Across the threshold to their brand new life
A#
With very little money in his jeans
C7 F
And a hundred million dollars worth of dreams
F A#
He took a job a the Congress Union Bank
C7 F
Worked hard to get ahead but drew a blank
A#
One day they paid him off and sent him home
C7 F
Then he swore he'd build an empire of his own
A# C7 F
Through the years he worked and dreamed of a Roman empire
A# C7 F
And he left his pretty young wife all alone
A# C7 F
She didn't share his dreams of a Roman empire
A# C7 F
All she dreamed of was a family and a home
F A#
Hard work and patience brought him wealth and fame
C7 F
And he thought he was a winner in life's game
A#
Their empire stretched from Maine to Mexico
C7 F
She had everything but what she needed most
F A#
When at last her loneliness had run it's coarse
C7 F
The judge granted Mrs. Roman her divorce
A#
Now Russell Roman's empire seemed so small
C7 F
And as lifeless as the Rembrandts on the wall
A# C7 F
The rise and the fall of the Roman empire
A# C7 F
Is a lesson for the likes of you and me
A# C7 F
The rise and the fall of the Roman empire
A# C7 F
Is just another page in history
F A#
Russell Roman took the same sweet bride
C7 F
Across the threshold for the second time
A#
With very little money in his jeans
C7 F
And not one single dollar in his dreams
A# C7 F
That's the fall and the rise of the Roman empire
A# C7 F
He gave their fortune to an orphans home
A# C7 F
The fall and the rise of the Roman empire
A# C7 F
Now his empire is his family and his home
