B C# F#

D#m B C#I used to rule the world

F# D#mSeas would rise when I gave the word

B C#Now in the morning I sleep alone

F# D#mSweep the streets I used to own

B C# F#

D#m B C#I used to roll the dice

F# D#mFeel the fear in my enemy's eyes

B C#Listen as the crowd would sing:

F# D#m"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

D#m B C#One minute I held the key

F# D#mNext the walls were closed on me

B C#And I discovered that my castles stand

F# D#mUpon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

B C#I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

F# D#mRoman Cavalry choirs are singing

B C#Be my mirror, my sword, and shield

F# D#mMy missionaries in a foreign field

B C#For some reason I can't explain

F# D#m B C#Once you go there was never, never an honest word

A#m D#mThat was when I ruled the world

B C# F#

D#m B C#It was the wicked and wild wind

F# D#mBlew down the doors to let me in.

B C#Shattered windows and the sound of drums

F# D#mPeople couldn't believe what I'd become

D#m B C#Revolutionaries wait

F# D#mFor my head on a silver plate

B C#Just a puppet on a lonely string

F# D#mOh who would ever want to be king?

B C#I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

F# D#mRoman Cavalry choirs are singing

B C#Be my mirror, my sword, and shield

F# D#mMy missionaries in a foreign field

B C#For some reason I can't explain

F# D#mI know Saint Peter won't call my name ,

B C#never an honest word

A#m D#mBut that was when I ruled the world

B C# F# D#m(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

B C#I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

F# D#mRoman Cavalry choirs are singing

B C#Be my mirror, my sword, and shield

F# D#mMy missionaries in a foreign field

B C#For some reason I can't explain

F# D#mI know Saint Peter won't call my name ,

B C#never an honest word

A#m D#mBut that was when I ruled the world

B C# A#m D#mOooooh Oooooh Oooooh x2
