[Fm] I [Db] used to rule [Ab] the world, the seas had rised when I [Fm] gave the word
sleep [Ab] alone, sweep the streets I [Fm] used to own

_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ I [Db] used to rule [Ab] the world, the seas had rised when I [Fm] gave the word

_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ I [Db] used to roll [Eb] the dice, [Ab] feel the fear in my [Fm] enemies eyes
Listen [Db] as the crowd [Eb] would sing, [Ab] now the old king is dead, [Fm] long live the king
One [Db] minute I _ held [Bb] the key, [Ab] next the walls were [Fm] closed on me
And I discovered [Db] that my castle [Eb] _ stood [Ab] upon pillars of salt [Fm] and pillars of sand
[Db] I hear _ [Eb] Jerusalem bells a [Ab]-ringing, Roman [Fm] Catholic choirs a-singing
[Db]
Be my mirror, [Bb] my sword and shield, [Ab]
my missionary [Fm] to the _ battlefield
[Db] For some reason [Bb] I can't explain, [Ab] once you've gone [Fm] there was never, never [Db] an _ _ [Eb] honest word
[Ab] That was when I [Fm] ruled the world
_ [Db]
It _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ was a wicked [Db] and wild _ [Ab] _ wind, blew down the doors to let [Fm] me in
Shattered windows [Db] and the sound [Ab] of drums
_ People couldn't [Ab] believe [Fm] what I'd become, _ [Db] _
_ _ [Eb] revolutionaries wait
_ [Fm] For my name on a [Fm] silver plate, just a puppet [Db] on a lonely [Eb] _ string
[Ab] Off to wherever war [Fm] ever came
[Db] I hear _ [Eb] Jerusalem bells a [Ab]-ringing, Roman Catholic [Fm] choirs a-singing
[Db]
Be my mirror, [Eb] my sword and shield, [Ab] my missionary to [Fm] the battlefield
_ [Db]
For some reason [Eb] I can't explain, [Ab] I know Saint Peter [F] won't call my name
[Db] Never an _ [Eb] honest word, but [Ab] that was when I ruled [Fm] the _ world
