Intro:
Csus2Csus2  Dsus4Dsus4 G+G G6/EG6/E x2

Verse 1:
     C majorC     Dsus4Dsus4
I used to rule the world
      G+G           E minorEm
Seas would rise when I gave the word
           C majorC    Dsus4Dsus4
Now in the morning I sleep alone
     G+G         E minorEm
Sweep the streets I used to own

Interlude:
C majorC D MajorD G+G EmAdd9Emadd9 x2

Verse 2:
      C majorC    Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
I used to roll the dice
     G+G         E minorEm EmAdd9Emadd9
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
        C majorC      Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Listen as the crowd would sing:
     G+G           E minorEm    EmAdd9Emadd9
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
       C majorC     Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
One minute I held the key
     G+G          E minorEm EmAdd9Emadd9
Next the walls were closed on me
             C majorC     Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
And I discovered that my castles stand
   G+G           E minorEm    EmAdd9Emadd9
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

Chorus:
 Cadd9Cadd9      Dsus4Dsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
 G+G      E minor 7Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9Cadd9        Dsus4Dsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
  G+G         E minor 7Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Cadd9Cadd9       Dsus4Dsus4
For some reason I can't explain
G+G           E minor 7Em7      C/EC/E   D MajorD
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
     B minorBm        G6/EG6/E
That was when I ruled the world

Interlude:
C majorC Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD G+G E minorEm EmAdd9Emadd9 x2

Verse 3:
           C majorC   Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
It was the wicked and wild wind
       G+G        E minorEm EmAdd9Emadd9
Blew down the doors to let me in.

             C majorC     Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
    G+G           E minorEm    EmAdd9Emadd9
People couldn't believe what I'd become
     C majorC   Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Revolutionaries wait
    G+G        E minorEm  EmAdd9Emadd9
For my head on a silver plate
          C majorC    Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Just a puppet on a lonely string
  G+G             E minorEm
Oh who would ever want to be king?

Chorus:
 Cadd9Cadd9      Dsus4Dsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
 G+G      E minor 7Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9Cadd9       Dsus4Dsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
  G+G         E minor 7Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Cadd9Cadd9       Dsus4Dsus4
For some reason I can't explain
 G+G           E minor 7Em7
I know Saint Peter will call my name,
    C/EC/E    D MajorD
never an honest word
       B minorBm        G6/EG6/E
But that was when I ruled the world

Interlude:
Cadd9Cadd9 E minor 7Em7 x3
Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD x2
  C majorC   Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD G+G E minorEm EmAdd9Emadd9 C majorC   Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD G+G E minorEm EmAdd9Emadd9
Ooo-oo---h,  Ooo-oo-h;  Ooo-oo---h,  Ooo-ooh

Chorus:
 Cadd9Cadd9      Dsus4Dsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
 G+G      E minor 7Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9Cadd9       Dsus4Dsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
  G+G         E minor 7Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Cadd9Cadd9       Dsus4Dsus4
For some reason I can't explain
 G+G           E minor 7Em7
I know Saint Peter will call my name,


Outro:
   C/EC/E    D MajorD
never an honest word
       B minorBm        G6/EG6/E
But that was when I ruled the world

C/EC/E D MajorD G+G G6/EG6/E C/EC/E D MajorD G+G G6/EG6/E C/EC/E D MajorD G+G
