Verse:
A augmentedA BB
I used to rule the world
E MajorE C# minorC#m
Seas would rise when I gave the word
A augmentedA BB
Now in the morning I sleep alone
E MajorE C# minorC#m
Sweep the streets I used to own
Interval:
A augmentedA - BB - E MajorE - C# minorC#m - A augmentedA - BB - E MajorE - C# minorC#m
Verse:
A augmentedA BB
I used to roll the dice
E MajorE C# minorC#m
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
A augmentedA BB
Listen as the crowd would sing:
E MajorE C# minorC#m
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
Verse:
A augmentedA BB
One minute I held the key
E MajorE C# minorC#m
Next the walls were closed on me
A augmentedA BB
And I discovered that my castles stand
E MajorE C# minorC#m
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Chorus:
A augmentedA BB
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
E MajorE C# minorC#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
A augmentedA BB
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
E MajorE C# minorC#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
A augmentedA BB
For some reason I can't explain
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
E MajorE C# minorC#m
That was when I ruled the world
Interval:
A augmentedA - BB - E MajorE - C# minorC#m x2
Verse:
A augmentedA BB
It was the wicked and wild wind
E MajorE C# minorC#m
Blew down the doors to let me in.
A augmentedA BB
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
E MajorE C# minorC#m
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Verse:
A augmentedA BB
Revolutionaries wait
E MajorE C# minorC#m
For my head on a silver plate
A augmentedA BB
Just a puppet on a lonely string
E MajorE C# minorC#m
Oh who would ever want to be king?
Chorus:
A augmentedA BB
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
E MajorE C# minorC#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
A augmentedA BB
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
E MajorE C# minorC#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
A augmentedA BB
For some reason I can't explain
E MajorE C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
Once you go there was never, never an honest word

That was when I ruled the world
