I got some requests for the plucking pattern, it's really easy and you just repeat
this over and over.. Here it is:

INTRO: Cadd9Cadd9 - Dsus4Dsus4 - G+G - E minor 7Em7 x2
(E minor 7Em7) Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4
I used to rule the world
G+G E minor 7Em7
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4
Now in the morning I sleep alone
G+G E minor 7Em7
Sweep the streets I used to own
Cadd9Cadd9 - Dsus4Dsus4 - G+G - E minor 7Em7 x2
(E minor 7Em7) Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4
I used to roll the dice
G+G E minor 7Em7
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4
Listen as the crowd would sing:
G+G E minor 7Em7
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
(E minor 7Em7) Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4
One minute I held the key
G+G E minor 7Em7
Next the walls were closed on me
Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4
And I discovered that my castles stand
G+G E minor 7Em7
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
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 Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
G+G E minor 7Em7
That was when I ruled the world
Cadd9Cadd9 - Dsus4Dsus4 - G+G - E minor 7Em7 x2
(E minor 7Em7) Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4
It was the wicked and wild wind
G+G E minor 7Em7
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
G+G E minor 7Em7
People couldn't believe what I'd become
(E minor 7Em7) Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4
Revolutionaries wait
G+G E minor 7Em7
For my head on a silver plate
Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4
Just a puppet on a lonely string
G+G E minor 7Em7
Oh who would ever want to be king?
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 ,
Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4
never an honest word
G+G E minor 7Em7
But that was when I ruled the world
Cadd9Cadd9 - E minor 7Em7 x3
Dsus4Dsus4 x2
Cadd9Cadd9 - Dsus4Dsus4 - G+G - E minor 7Em7 x2
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
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 ,
Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4
never an honest word
G+G Em7(once)
But that was when I ruled the world
