D E A

F#m D EI used to rule the world

A F#mSeas would rise when I gave the word

D ENow in the morning I sleep alone

A F#mSweep the streets I used to own

D E A

F#m D EI used to roll the dice

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

D EListen as the crowd would sing:

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

F#m D EOne minute I held the key

A F#mNext the walls were closed on me

D EAnd I discovered that my castles stand

A F#mUpon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

D EI hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

A F#mRoman Cavalry choirs are singing

D EBe my mirror, my sword, and shield

A F#mMy missionaries in a foreign field

D EFor some reason I can't explain

A F#m D EOnce you go there was never, never an honest word

C#m F#mThat was when I ruled the world

D E A

F#m D EIt was the wicked and wild wind

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

D EShattered windows and the sound of drums

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

F#m D ERevolutionaries wait

A F#mFor my head on a silver plate

D EJust a puppet on a lonely string

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

D EI hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

A F#mRoman Cavalry choirs are singing

D EBe my mirror, my sword, and shield

A F#mMy missionaries in a foreign field

D EFor some reason I can't explain

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

D Enever an honest word

C#m F#mBut that was when I ruled the world

D

D E A F#m(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

D EI hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

A F#mRoman Cavalry choirs are singing

D EBe my mirror, my sword, and shield

A F#mMy missionaries in a foreign field

D EFor some reason I can't explain

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

D Enever an honest word

C#m F#mBut that was when I ruled the world

D E C#m F#mOooooh Oooooh Oooooh x2
