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

INTRO: Cadd9 - Dsus4 - G - Em7    x2

(Em7)     Cadd9    Dsus4
I used to rule the world
           G                    Em7
Seas would rise when I gave the word
                     Cadd9   Dsus4
Now in the morning I sleep alone
          G                 Em7
Sweep the streets I used to own

Cadd9 - Dsus4 - G - Em7    x2

(Em7)     Cadd9     Dsus4
I used to roll the dice
          G                 Em7
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
              Cadd9        Dsus4
Listen as the crowd would sing:
          G                 Em7
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

(Em7)        Cadd9    Dsus4
One minute I held the key
         G                    Em7
Next the walls were closed on me
                          Cadd9    Dsus4
And I discovered that my castles stand
     G                    Em7
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

Cadd9          Dsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G             Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9            Dsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   G                 Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Cadd9             Dsus4
For some reason I can't explain
G                     Em7             Cadd9  Dsus4
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
         G                Em7
That was when I ruled the world

Cadd9 - Dsus4 - G - Em7    x2

(Em7)                  Cadd9 Dsus4
It was the wicked and wild wind
              G               Em7
Blew down the doors to let me in.
                          Cadd9    Dsus4
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
       G                    Em7
People couldn't believe what I'd become

(Em7)    Cadd9  Dsus4
Revolutionaries wait
        G               Em7
For my head on a silver plate
                   Cadd9  Dsus4
Just a puppet on a lonely string
   G                         Em7
Oh who would ever want to be king?

Cadd9          Dsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G             Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9            Dsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   G                 Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Cadd9             Dsus4
For some reason I can't explain
  G                     Em7
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
   Cadd9       Dsus4
never an honest word
              G               Em7
But that was when I ruled the world

Cadd9 - Em7 x3
Dsus4 x2

Cadd9  - Dsus4 - G - Em7    x2
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

Cadd9          Dsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G             Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9            Dsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   G                 Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Cadd9             Dsus4
For some reason I can't explain
  G                     Em7
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
  Cadd9        Dsus4
never an honest word
              G               Em7(once)
But that was when I ruled the world
