Intro: Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4 G+G E minor 7Em7 (2x)

Verso
(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)
(Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4 G+G E minor 7Em7)

Verso
(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

Verso
 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)
(Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4 G+G E minor 7Em7)

Verso
(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)
(Cadd9Cadd9 E minor 7Em7)
(Cadd9Cadd9 E minor 7Em7)
(Dsus4Dsus4)
(Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4 G+G E minor 7Em7)
(Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus4Dsus4 G+G E minor 7Em7)

Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh

Verso
 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
