Intro: A - B - E - C#m - A - B - E - C#m

Verse:
          A        B
I used to rule the world
           E                    C#m
Seas would rise when I gave the word
                     A       B
Now in the morning I sleep alone
          E                 C#m
Sweep the streets I used to own

Interval:
A - B - E - C#m - A - B - E - C#m
Verse:
          A         B
I used to roll the dice
          E                 C#m
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
              A            B
Listen as the crowd would sing:
          E                 C#m
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

Verse:
             A        B
One minute I held the key
         E                    C#m
Next the walls were closed on me
                          A        B
And I discovered that my castles stand
     E                    C#m
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

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

Interval:
A - B - E - C#m    x2

Verse:
                      A     B
It was the wicked and wild wind
              E               C#m
Blew down the doors to let me in.
                          A        B
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
       E                    C#m
People couldn't believe what I'd become

Verse:
         A      B
Revolutionaries wait
        E               C#m
For my head on a silver plate
                   A      B
Just a puppet on a lonely string
   E                         C#m
Oh who would ever want to be king?

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

Interval:
A - C#m x3
B       x2

A                B
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   E                 C#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
A                 B
For some reason I can't explain
E                     C#m             A      B
