F# G# C#

A#m F# G#I used to rule the world

C# A#mSeas would rise when I gave the word

F# G#Now in the morning I sleep alone

C# A#mSweep the streets I used to own

F# G# C#

A#m F# G#I used to roll the dice

C# A#mFeel the fear in my enemy's eyes

F# G#Listen as the crowd would sing:

C# A#m"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

A#m F# G#One minute I held the key

C# A#mNext the walls were closed on me

F# G#And I discovered that my castles stand

C# A#mUpon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

F# G#I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

C# A#mRoman Cavalry choirs are singing

F# G#Be my mirror, my sword, and shield

C# A#mMy missionaries in a foreign field

F# G#For some reason I can't explain

C# A#m F# G#Once you go there was never, never an honest word

Fm A#mThat was when I ruled the world

F# G# C#

A#m F# G#It was the wicked and wild wind

C# A#mBlew down the doors to let me in.

F# G#Shattered windows and the sound of drums

C# A#mPeople couldn't believe what I'd become

A#m F# G#Revolutionaries wait

C# A#mFor my head on a silver plate

F# G#Just a puppet on a lonely string

C# A#mOh who would ever want to be king?

F# G#I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

C# A#mRoman Cavalry choirs are singing

F# G#Be my mirror, my sword, and shield

C# A#mMy missionaries in a foreign field

F# G#For some reason I can't explain

C# A#mI know Saint Peter won't call my name ,

F# G#never an honest word

Fm A#mBut that was when I ruled the world

F#

F# G# C# A#m(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

F# G#I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

C# A#mRoman Cavalry choirs are singing

F# G#Be my mirror, my sword, and shield

C# A#mMy missionaries in a foreign field

F# G#For some reason I can't explain

C# A#mI know Saint Peter won't call my name ,

F# G#never an honest word

Fm A#mBut that was when I ruled the world

F# G# Fm A#mOooooh Oooooh Oooooh x2
