INTRO: C# C# - D# D# - G# G# - Fm Fm x2

(Fm Fm) C# C# D# D#
I used to rule the world
G# G# Fm Fm
Seas would rise when I gave the word
C# C# D# D#
Now in the morning I sleep alone
G# G# Fm Fm
Sweep the streets I used to own

C# C# - D# D# - G# G# - Fm Fm x2

(Fm Fm) C# C# D# D#
I used to roll the dice
G# G# Fm Fm
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
C# C# D# D#
Listen as the crowd would sing:
G# G# Fm Fm
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"


(Fm Fm) C# C# D# D#
One minute I held the key
G# G# Fm Fm
Next the walls were closed on me
C# C# D# D#
And I discovered that my castles stand
G# G# Fm Fm
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

C# C# D# D#
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G# G# Fm Fm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C# C# D# D#
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G# G# Fm Fm
My missionaries in a foreign field
C# C# D# D#
For some reason I can't explain
G# G# Fm Fm C# C# D# D#
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
Cm Cm Fm Fm
That was when I ruled the world

C# C# - D# D# - G# G# - Fm Fm x2

(Fm Fm) C# C# D# D#
It was the wicked and wild wind
G# G# Fm Fm
Blew down the doors to let me in.
C# C# D# D#
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
G# G# Fm Fm
People couldn't believe what I'd become

(Fm Fm) C# C# D# D#
Revolutionaries wait
G# G# Fm Fm
For my head on a silver plate
C# C# D# D#
Just a puppet on a lonely string
G# G# Fm Fm
Oh who would ever want to be king?


C# C# D# D#
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G# G# Fm Fm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C# C# D# D#
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G# G# Fm Fm
My missionaries in a foreign field
C# C# D# D#
For some reason I can't explain
G# G# Fm Fm
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
C# C# D# D#
never an honest word
Cm Cm Cm Cm
But that was when I ruled the world

C# C# - Fm Fm x3
D# D# x2


C# C# - D# D# - G# G# - Fm Fm x2
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

C# C# D# D#
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G# G# Fm Fm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C# C# D# D#
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G# G# Fm Fm
My missionaries in a foreign field
C# C# D# D#
For some reason I can't explain
G# G# Fm Fm
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
C# C# D# D#
never an honest word
Cm Cm Fm Fm
But that was when I ruled the world

C# C# - D# D# - Fm Fm - Cm Cm and fading...
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
