[Fm] I used [Db] to rule [Eb] the world, seas [Ab] would rise when I gave [Fm] the word.
Now in the morning [Db] I speak alone, sweet [Ab] the streets I used to [Fm] own.
[Db]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Fm] [Db]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Fm] I used [Db] to roll the dice, [Ab] feel the fear in [Fm] Miami's eyes.
And listen [Db] as the crowd would [Eb] sing, now [Ab] the old king is dead, [Fm] longing for king.
One minute [Db] I held the key, next [Ab] the walls were [Fm] closed on me.
I discovered [Db] my castle [Eb] stand, [Ab] upon pillars of salt and [Fm] pillars of sand.
[Db] I hear jails and the bells are ringing, [Ab] the rolling cavalry [Fm] choir is singing.
[Db]
Me, my mirror, my sword, shield, [Ab]
mercenaries in [Fm] a borrowed field.
[Db]
For some reason I can't explain, [Ab]
what's you've done.
[Fm] There was never, never [Db] an honest [Eb] word, [Ab] that was when I ruled [Fm] the world.
[Db]
[Ab]
[Fm] [Db]
[Ab]
[Fm] It was the wicked [Db] and wild [Ab] wind, blew down the doors to let [Fm] me in.
The shadow windows [Db] and the sound [Ab] of drums, of people couldn't believe [Fm] what I've become.
Never [Db] a chivalrous way, a [Ab] woman hanging on a silver [Fm] plate.
She's the puppet [Db] of the lonely [Eb] string, [Ab] of who never won [Fm] king.
Now [Db] I hear jails and the bells [Eb] are ringing, [Ab]
the rolling [Fm] cavalry choir is singing.
[Db]
Me, my mirror, my sword, [Ab] shield, mercenaries [Fm] in a borrowed field.
[Db]
[Eb] [Ab]
For St.
Peter [Fm] won't call my name, [Db] never an honest [Eb] word, [Ab] that was when I ruled the [Fm] world.

and the [Eb] bells are ringing, [Ab]
[Fm] the rolling cavalry [Db] choir is singing.
Me, my mirror, my sword, shield, [Ab]
mercenaries in a [Fm] borrowed field.
[Db]
For some reason [Ab] I can't explain, I know St.
Peter won't call my name, [Db] never an honest [Ab] word, that was when I ruled the world.

Muchisimas gracias, thank you [Dbm] very much.
