D# F A#

Gm D# FI used to rule the world

A# GmSeas would rise when I gave the word

D# FNow in the morning I sleep alone

A# GmSweep the streets I used to own

D# F A#

Gm D# FI used to roll the dice

A# GmFeel the fear in my enemy's eyes

D# FListen as the crowd would sing:

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

Gm D# FOne minute I held the key

A# GmNext the walls were closed on me

D# FAnd I discovered that my castles stand

A# GmUpon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

D# FI hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

A# GmRoman Cavalry choirs are singing

D# FBe my mirror, my sword, and shield

A# GmMy missionaries in a foreign field

D# FFor some reason I can't explain

A# Gm D# FOnce you go there was never, never an honest word

Dm GmThat was when I ruled the world

D# F A#

Gm D# FIt was the wicked and wild wind

A# GmBlew down the doors to let me in.

D# FShattered windows and the sound of drums

A# GmPeople couldn't believe what I'd become

Gm D# FRevolutionaries wait

A# GmFor my head on a silver plate

D# FJust a puppet on a lonely string

A# GmOh who would ever want to be king?

D# FI hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

A# GmRoman Cavalry choirs are singing

D# FBe my mirror, my sword, and shield

A# GmMy missionaries in a foreign field

D# FFor some reason I can't explain

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

D# Fnever an honest word

Dm GmBut that was when I ruled the world

D#

D# F A# Gm(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

D# FI hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

A# GmRoman Cavalry choirs are singing

D# FBe my mirror, my sword, and shield

A# GmMy missionaries in a foreign field

D# FFor some reason I can't explain

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

D# Fnever an honest word

Dm GmBut that was when I ruled the world

D# F Dm GmOooooh Oooooh Oooooh x2
