[Capo on 1]
Chords
	 
[Intro]
C - D9(11) - G - Em
[Verse]
C D9(11)
I used to rule the world
G Em
Seas would rise when I gave the word
C D9(11)
Now in the morning and I sleep alone
G Em
Sweep the streets I used to own
[Bridge]
[C - D9(11) - G - Em]x2
[Verse]
C D9(11)
I used to roll the dice
G Em
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
C D9(11)
Listen as the crowd would sing:
G Em
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
[Verse]
C D9(11)
One minute I held the key
G Em
Next the walls were closed on me
C D9(11)
And I discovered that my castles stand
G Em
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[Verse]
C D9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C D9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G Em
My missionaries in a foreign field
C D9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
G/B Em C D9(11)
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
G Em
That was when I ruled the world
[Bridge]
[C - D9(11) - G - Em]x2
[Verse]
C D9(11)
It was the wicked and wild wind
G Em
Blew down the doors to let me in
C D9(11)
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
G Em
People couldn't believe what I'd become
[Verse]
C D9(11)
Revolutionaries wait
G Em
For my head on a silver plate
C D9(11)
Just a puppet on a lonely string
G Em
Oh who would ever want to be king?
[Verse]
C D9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C D9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G Em
My missionaries in a foreign field
C D9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
G Em
I know Saint Peter won't call my name,
C D9(11)
never an honest word
Bm Em
But that was when I ruled the world.
[Bridge]
[C - Em]x3

D -D

[Bridge]
C D9(11) G Em
Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh
C D9(11) G Em
Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh
[Verse]
C D9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C D9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G Em
My missionaries in a foreign field
C D9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
G Em
I know Saint Peter won't call my name,
C D9(11)
never an honest word
G Em
But that was when I ruled the world
C D9(11) G Em
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
