INTRO:
C# - Eb - G# - Fm x2
(Fm) C# D#
I used to rule the world
G# Fm
Seas would rise when I gave the word
C# D#
Now in the morning I sweep alone
G# Fm
Sweep the streets I used to own
C# - D# - G# Fm x2
(Fm) C# D#
I used to roll the dice
G# Fm
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
C# D#
Listen as the crowd would sing:
G# Fm
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
(Fm) C# D#
One minute I held the key
G# Fm
Next the walls were closed on me
C# D#
And I discovered that my castles stand
G# Fm
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
C# D#
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G# Fm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C# D#
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G# Fm
My missionaries in a foreign field
C# D#
For some reason I can't explain
G# Fm C# D#
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
G# Fm
That was when I ruled the world
C# - D# - G# - Fm x2
C# D#
It was the wicked and wild wind
G# Fm
Blew down the doors to let me in.
C# D#
Shattered windows and the sound of drums

G# Fm
People couldn't believe what I'd become
C# D#
Revolutionaries wait
G# Fm
For my head on a silver plate
C# D#
Just a puppet on a lonely string
G# Fm
Oh who would ever want to be king?
C# D#
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G# Fm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C# D#
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G# Fm
My missionaries in a foreign field
C# D#
For some reason I can't explain
G# Fm
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
C# D#
never an honest word
G# Fm
But that was when I ruled the world
C# - Fm x3
D# x2
C# - D# - G# - Fm x2
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
C# D#
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G# Fm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C# D#
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G# Fm
My missionaries in a foreign field
C# D#
For some reason I can't explain
G# Fm
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
C# D#
never an honest word
G# Fm
But that was when I ruled the world
C# - D# - G# - Fm and fading...
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
