Fm C# D#I used to rule the world

G# FmSeas would rise when I gave the word

C# D#Now in the morning I sleep alone

G# FmSweep the streets I used to own

C# D# G#

Fm C# D#I used to roll the dice

G# FmFeel 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# FmNext the walls were closed on me

C# D#And I discovered that my castles stand

G# FmUpon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

C# D#I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

G# FmRoman Cavalry choirs are singing

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

G# FmMy 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

Cm FmThat was when I ruled the world

C# D# G#

Fm C# D#It was the wicked and wild wind

G# FmBlew down the doors to let me in.

C# D#Shattered windows and the sound of drums

G# FmPeople couldn't believe what I'd become

Fm C# D#Revolutionaries wait

G# FmFor my head on a silver plate

C# D#Just a puppet on a lonely string

G# FmOh who would ever want to be king?

C# D#I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

G# FmRoman Cavalry choirs are singing

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

G# FmMy missionaries in a foreign field

C# D#For some reason I can't explain

G# FmI know Saint Peter won't call my name ,

C# D#never an honest word

Cm FmBut that was when I ruled the world

C#

C# D# G# Fm(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

C# D#I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

G# FmRoman Cavalry choirs are singing

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

G# FmMy missionaries in a foreign field

C# D#For some reason I can't explain

G# FmI know Saint Peter won't call my name ,

C# D#never an honest word

Cm FmBut that was when I ruled the world

C# D# Cm FmOooooh Oooooh Oooooh x2
