           C        D9(11)
I used to rule the world
            G                    Em
Seas would rise when I gave the word
                           C     D9(11)
Now in the morning and I sleep alone
             G              Em
Sweep the streets I used to own
( C  D9(11)  G  Em )
( C  D9(11)  G  Em )
           C        D9(11)
I used to roll the dice
          G                 Em
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
                C          D9(11)
Listen as the crowd would sing
        G
Now the old king is dead!
 Em
Long live the king!

              C        D9(11)
One minute I held the key
          G                    Em
Next the walls were closed on me
                          C        D9(11)
And I discovered that my castles stand
      G                   Em
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

   C              D9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
 G              Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
 C                 D9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
    G                 Em
My missionaries in a foreign field
 C                 D9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
G/B                    Em
Once you go there was never
          C      D9(11)
Never an honest word
           G               Em
That was when I ruled the world
( C  D9(11)  G  Em )
( C  D9(11)  G  Em )

                       C    D9(11)
It was the wicked and wild wind
               G              Em
Blew down the doors to let me in
                           C         D9(11)
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
        G                    Em
People couldn't believe what I'd become

          C      D9(11)
Revolutionaries wait
        G                 Em
For my head on a silver plate
                    C        D9(11)
Just a puppet on a lonely string
     G                        Em
Oh who would ever want to be king?

   C              D9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
 G              Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
 C                 D9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
    G                 Em
My missionaries in a foreign field
 C                 D9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
    G/B                   Em
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
          C      D9(11)
Never an honest word
                  G            Em
But that was when I ruled the world
( C  Em  C  Em )

( C  D9(11)  G  Em )

Never an honest word
               G               Em
But that was when I ruled the world
