[N] [Eb]

[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm]
I used to [Eb] rule the world, seas would [Ab] rise when I [Fm] gave the word
Now in the morning [Db] I sleep
[Eb] alone, sweet the streets [Ab] I used [Fm] to own
[Db] I
[Eb] [Ab]
[Fm] [Db]
[Eb]
[Ab] [Fm] used to [Db] roll the [Eb] dice, feel the [Ab] fear in my enemies [Fm] eyes
Listen as [Db] the crowd would [Eb] sing, [Ab] now the old king is dead, long live the king
[Fm] One minute [Db] I held the key, next [Ab] the walls were closed on me
And I [Fm] discovered that my [Db]
castle [Eb] stands upon [Ab] pillars of salt and [Fm] pillars of sand
[Db] I hear Tarry's son of [Eb] Elves a-ringing, [Ab]
Roman Catholic [Fm] choirs a-singing
[Db] Be my mirror, my [Eb] sword and shield, [Ab] my missionary to the [Fm] foreign field
[Db] For some reason [Eb] I can't explain, [Ab] once he had gone there [Fm] was never, never [Db] an honest [Eb]
word
That [Ab] was when I ruled the [Fm] world
[Db]
[Fm] [Db]
[Ab] [Fm] It was a wicked and [Db]
wild [Eb] wind, blew down [Ab] the doors to [Fm] let me in
We shattered windows and [Db] the sound of [Eb] drums, people [Ab] couldn't believe what [Fm] I'd become
[Db] Revolutionaries [Eb] wait for [Ab] my hand on a silver [Fm] plate
Just a puppet on a [Db] lonely [Eb]
string, [Ab] oh who would ever want to be king
[Fm] I [Db] hear Tarry's son [Eb] of Elves a-ringing, [Ab] Roman Catholic [Fm] choirs a-singing
[Db] Be my mirror, my [Eb] sword and shield, [Ab] my missionary to the [Fm] foreign field
[Db] For some reason I [Eb] can't explain, I [Ab] know Saint Peter won't [Fm] call my name
Never [Db] an honest [Eb] word, but that was [Ab] when I ruled the [Fm] world
