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

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