[Dbm] [Eb] [Abm]
[E] [Dbm]
[Eb] [Abm]
[E] I [Db] used to rule the world,
Seas [Abm] would rise when I [E] gave the word.
Now in the [Db] morning I sleep alone,
Sweep [Abm] the streets I [E] used to own.
[Db]
[Eb]
[Abm] [E] [Dbm]
[Eb] [Abm]
[E] I [Dbm] used to roll the [Eb] dice,
[Abm] Feel the fear in my [E] enemy's eyes.
Listen [Dbm] as the crowd [Eb] would sing,
[Abm] Now the old king is dead, [E] long live the king.
For one [Dbm] minute I held [Eb] the key,
[Abm] Next the walls were [E] closed on me,
And I'm still [Dbm] in love with death, [Eb] so still.
[Abm] I'm gonna lose you, so [E] prepare to stand.
[Dbm]
I hear the church [Eb] bells are ringing,
[Abm]
One [E] down, three for us to [Dbm] see.
I keep my mirror, [Eb] my sword and shield,
[Abm]
My missionaries [E] in the battlefield.
[Dbm]
For some reason I can't explain,
[Abm]
Once you go [E] there was never,
[Dbm] Never [Eb] this fun.
That was [Abm] when I [E] ruled the world.
[Dbm]
[Abm]
[E]
[Bb] [Abm]
It was the wicked [Dbm] and wild wind,
[Abm] Blew down the doors to let [E] me in.
Shattered windows [Db] and the sound of drums,
[Abm] People couldn't believe [E] what I'd become.
[Dbm]
Revolutionaries [Eb] wait,
[E] For my name on a silver blade,
Just a puppet [Dbm] on a lonely [Eb] string.
[Abm] Oh, who would ever want [E] to be king?
[Dbm] I hear the church [Eb] bells are ringing,
[Abm]
One down, [E] three for us to see.
[Dbm]
I keep my mirror, [Eb] my sword and shield,
[Abm] My missionaries in [E] the battlefield.
[Dbm]
For some reason [Abm] I can't explain,
I'm off Saint Peter [E] won't call my name,
[Dbm] Never this [Eb] fun.
But [Abm] that was when I ruled [E] the world.
[Dbm] [Eb] [B]
