Intro:
Csus2   Dsus4  G  G6/E x2

Verse 1:
          C         Dsus4
I used to rule the world
           G                     Em
Seas would rise when I gave the word
                      C       Dsus4
Now in the morning I sleep alone
          G                 Em
Sweep the streets I used to own

Interlude:
C  D  G  Emadd9  x2

Verse 2:
           C        Dsus4 D
I used to roll the dice
          G                 Em  Emadd9
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
               C            Dsus4  D
Listen as the crowd would sing:
          G                      Em        Emadd9
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
             C         Dsus4 D
One minute I held the key
         G                    Em Emadd9
Next the walls were closed on me
                          C         Dsus4  D
And I discovered that my castles stand
     G                      Em        Emadd9
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

Chorus:
  Cadd9           Dsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
 G            Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9               Dsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   G                  Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Cadd9              Dsus4
For some reason I can't explain
G                      Em7            C/E     D
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
         Bm                G6/E
That was when I ruled the world

Interlude:
C  Dsus4 D  G  Em Emadd9  x2

Verse 3:
                      C      Dsus4  D
It was the wicked and wild wind
              G               Em  Emadd9
Blew down the doors to let me in.

                          C          Dsus4  D
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
       G                     Em        Emadd9
People couldn't believe what I'd become
          C      Dsus4 D
Revolutionaries wait
        G                Em   Emadd9
For my head on a silver plate
                    C        Dsus4  D
Just a puppet on a lonely string
   G                         Em
Oh who would ever want to be king?

Chorus:
  Cadd9           Dsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
 G            Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9              Dsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   G                  Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Cadd9              Dsus4
For some reason I can't explain
  G                     Em7
I know Saint Peter will call my name,
       C/E       D
never an honest word
              Bm               G6/E
But that was when I ruled the world

Interlude:
Cadd9 Em7 x3
Dsus4 D x2
    C     Dsus4 D G Em Emadd9 C     Dsus4 D G Em Emadd9
Ooo-oo---h,   Ooo-oo-h;   Ooo-oo---h,   Ooo-ooh

Chorus:
  Cadd9           Dsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
 G            Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9              Dsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   G                  Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Cadd9              Dsus4
For some reason I can't explain
  G                     Em7
I know Saint Peter will call my name,


Outro:
      C/E        D
never an honest word
              Bm               G6/E
But that was when I ruled the world

C/E D  G  G6/E  C/E D  G  G6/E C/E  D  G
