INTRO: Fadd9 – Gsus4 - C – Am7 x2
(Am7) Fadd9 Gsus4
I used to rule the world
C Am7
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Fadd9 Gsus4
Now in the morning I sleep alone
C Am7
Sweep the streets I used to own
Fadd9 – Gsus4 - C – Am7 x2
(Am7) Fadd9 Gsus4
I used to roll the dice
C Am7
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Fadd9 Gsus4
Listen as the crowd would sing:
C Am7
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
(Am7) Fadd9 Gsus4
One minute I held the key
C Am7
Next the walls were closed on me
Fadd9 Gsus4
And I discovered that my castles stand
C Am7
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Fadd9 Gsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
C Am7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Fadd9 Gsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
C Am7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Fadd9 Gsus4
For some reason I can't explain
C Am7 Fadd9 Gsus4
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
C Am7
That was when I ruled the world
Fadd9 – Gsus4 - C – Am7 x2
(Am7) Fadd9 Gsus4
It was the wicked and wild wind
C Am7
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Fadd9 Gsus4
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
C Am7
People couldn't believe what I'd become
(Am7) Fadd9 Gsus4
Revolutionaries wait
C Am7
For my head on a silver plate
Fadd9 Gsus4
Just a puppet on a lonely string
C Am7
Oh who would ever want to be king?
Fadd9 Gsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
C Am7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Fadd9 Gsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
C Am7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Fadd9 Gsus4
For some reason I can't explain
C Am7
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
Fadd9 Gsus4
Never an honest word
C Am7
But that was when I ruled the world
Fadd9 – Am7 x3
Gsus4 x2
Fadd9 - Gsus4 - C – Am7 x2
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
Fadd9 Gsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
C Am7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Fadd9 Gsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
C Am7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Fadd9 Gsus4
For some reason I can't explain
C Am7
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
Fadd9 Gsus4
Never an honest word
C Am7(once)
But that was when I ruled the world
