The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
     E5
Then Egypt fell
To the Macedon King as well
       C5                         B5    F#5

By the Tigris river

  The Macedonian learned mind

B5                          C5 D5
He paved the way for Christianity
E5 G5    D5  E5 G5    D5
Marching on, marching on
E5
  The battle weary marching side by side
E5
  Alexander's army line by line
D5
  They wouldn't follow him to India
B5                                C5 D5
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory

[Chorus (3)]

E5            D5
Alexander the Great
    A5                    C5        D5

He died of fever in Babylon
