[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm]
I used to [Db] rule [Eb] the world, seas [Ab] would rise when I [Fm] gave the word.
Now in the morning I [Db] sleep
[Eb] alone, sweep the streets [Ab]
I used to [Fm] own.
[Db]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Fm]
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm] I used to [Db] roll the [Eb] dice, feel the [Ab] fear in my enemies [Fm] eyes.
Listen [Db] as the crowd would [Eb]
sing, now [Ab] the old king is dead, [Fm] long live the king.
One minute I [Db] held the key, [Ab] next the walls were closed on [Fm] me.
And I discovered that [Db] my castle [Eb] stand upon [Ab] pillars of salt and [Fm] pillars of sand.
I [Db] hear Jerusalem [Eb] bells a-ringing, [Ab]
roses [Fm] singing.
[Db] Be my mirror, [Eb] my sword and shield, my [Ab] missionaries in the [Fm] foreign field.
For [Db] some reason I [Eb] can't explain, [Cm] once you go [Fm] there was never, never [Db] honest [Eb]
word.
[Ab] That was when I ruled the [Fm] world.
[Db]
[Fm] [Db]
[Ab]
[Fm] It was the wicked and [Db]
wild [Eb] wind, blew down the [Ab] doors to let [Fm] me in.
Shattered windows and [Db] the sound of [Eb] drums.
People [Ab] couldn't believe [Fm] what I'd become.
[Db] Revolutionaries [Eb] wait for [Ab] my hand on a silver [Fm] plate.
Just a puppet on a [Db] lonely [Eb]
street.
Oh, [Ab] who would ever want to be [Fm] king?
[Db] I hear Jerusalem [Eb] bells a-ringing, [Ab] roses
[Fm] singing.
[Db] Be my mirror, [Eb] my sword and shield, my [Ab]
missionaries in the foreign [Fm] field.
[Db]
For some reason I [Eb] can't explain, [Cm] I know Saint [Fm] Peter won't call my
[Db] name.
Never honest [Eb] word, but that [Ab] was when I ruled the [Fm] world.
