[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm]
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm] I used [Db] to rule the world, [Ab] seas would rise when I gave [Fm] the word.
Now in the morning [Db] I sleep [Eb] alone, [Ab] sweep the streets I used [Fm] to roam.
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm]
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm] I used [Db] 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] or the king.
One minute [Dbm] I [Eb] held the key, [Ab]
next the walls were closed [Fm] on me.
And I discovered [Db] what my castle [Eb] stand, [Ab] upon pillars of [Fm] salt and pillars of sand.
[Db] I heard just the [Eb] bells a-ringing, [Ab] Roman Catholic [Fm] choirs a-singing.
[Db] Be my mirror, my sword [Eb] and shield, [Ab] my missionaries in [Fm] the foreign field.
[Db] For some reason [Eb] I can't explain, [Ab] once you've gone [Fm] it was never, never [Db] alone.
[Eb] It's wood, [Ab] that was when I ruled [Fm] the [Db] world.
It
[Fm]
[Db]
[Fm] was the wicked [Db] and wild wind, blew [Ab] down the doors to let [Fm] me in.
Shattered windows [Db] and the sound of drums, [Ab] people couldn't believe [Fm] what I'd become.
And [Db] revolutionaries [Eb] wait, [Fm] for my name on a silver plate.
Just a puppet [Db] on a lonely [Eb] string, [Ab] or who would ever want to [Fm] be king.
[Db] I hear just the [Eb] bells a [Ab]-ringing, Roman Catholic [Fm] choirs a-singing.
[Db] Be my mirror, [Eb] my sword and shield, [Ab] my missionaries [Fm] in the foreign field.
[Db] For some reason [Eb] I can't explain, [Ab] I know Saint Peter [G] won't call my name.
[Db] Never alone, [Eb] it's wood, that [Ab] was when I ruled [Fm] the world.
