A              C#m 
  When the Emperor lost his bride 
Dmaj7         Fdim           A 
  At first he lay in bed and cried 
A                  C#m 
  Till she came to him in a dream 
Dmaj7           Fdim 
  With words of consolation 

 Dmaj7 
‘Death is untrue, I’m merely sleeping 
    Asus4       A         C#m 
I’m waiting for you, in a world way beyond weeping 
Dmaj7               Fdim 
Join me there soon, until you’re mine 
C#m               F#sus4   F#m  C#m 
Build me a marble Valentine 
Bm7                 E7sus4              Dmaj7 
Let the world know, grief built the Taj Mahal’

A              C#m 
  When the Emperor rubbed his eyes 
Dmaj7      Fdim              A 
  An azure morning filled the skies 
A          C#m 
  Energized by his dream, 
Dmaj7     Fdim 
  The Emperor was moved to 

Dmaj7 
Summon his men, he ordered them ‘Find me 
    Asus4      A              C#m 
The whitest of stone, let its radiance remind me 
   Dmaj7                Fdim 
Of all I have lost, the source of my pain 
    C#m                F#sus4 F#m  C#m 
The joy that in time I will regain 
Bm7                 E7sus4              Dmaj7 
Let the world know, grief built the Taj Mahal 

Dmaj7  Fdim 
       As for the cost  
C#m                  F#sus4    F#m  C#m 
What is the price of love    unlost ?) 
Bm7                 E7sus4              Dmaj7 
Let the world know, grief built the Taj Mahal’
