C chordC - D chordD - G chordG - Em chordEm    x2 

(Em chordEm) C chordC D chordD
I used to rule the world
G chordG Em chordEm
Seas would rise when I gave the word
C chordC D chordD
Now in the morning I sleep alone
G chordG Em chordEm
Sweep the streets I used to own

C chordC - D chordD - G chordG - Em chordEm x2

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

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

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

C chordC - D chordD - G chordG - Em chordEm x2

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

(Em chordEm) C chordC D chordD
Revolutionaries wait
G chordG Em chordEm
For my head on a silver plate
C chordC D chordD
Just a puppet on a lonely string
G chordG Em chordEm
Oh who would ever want to be king?

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

C chordC - D chordD - G chordG - Em chordEm x2
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

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

C chordC - D chordD - Bm chordBm - Em chordEm
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh

It sounds normal, you just have the chords placed in the wrong spot to follow the tempo of the song.
