[Db] [Eb]
[Fm] I used [Db] to rule [Ab] the world,
Seas would rise when I [Fm] gave the word.
Now in the morning [Db] I sleep [Ab] alone,
Sweep the streets I [Fm] used to own.
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm]
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm] I used [Db] to roll the [Eb] dice,
Feel [Ab] the fear in my [Fm] enemies' eyes,
Listen [Db] as the crowd [Eb] would sing.
Now [Ab] the old king is [Fm] dead, long live the king.
One minute [Dbm] I held [Bb] the key,
Next [Ab] the walls were [Fm] closed on me,
And I discovered that [Db] my [Ab] castle stands
Upon pillars of [Fm] salt and pillars of sand.
[Db] Every [Eb] sun of hell's been ringing,
[Ab] Roman [Fm] Catholic choirs are singing,
[Db] Be my [Bb] mirror, my sword and shield,
[Ab] My missionaries [Fm] in a foreign field.
For [Db] some [Eb] reason I can't explain,
[Ab] Once you'd [Fm] gone it was never,
Never [Db] an [Eb] honest word.
That [Ab] was when I [Fm] ruled the world.
[Db] [Bb]
[Fm]
[Ab] [Fm] It was the wicked [Db] and wild [Ab] wind,
Blew down the doors to [Fm] let me in,
Shattered windows and [Db] the sound [Ab] of drums.
People couldn't believe [Fm] what I'd become,
Some
[Db] [Eb] revolutionaries wait,
For [Fm] my name on a silver plate,
Just a puppet [Db] on a [Eb] lonely string,
[Ab] Or who would ever [Fm] want to be king.
[Dbm] I hear every [Eb] sun of hell's been ringing,
[Ab] Roman [Fm] Catholic choirs are singing,
[Db] Be my mirror, [Eb] my sword and shield,
[Ab] My missionaries [Fm] in a foreign field.
For [Db] some [Eb] reason I can't explain,
[Ab] I know Saint [F] Peter won't call my name,
[Db] Never an [Eb] honest word.
But that [Ab] was when I [Fm] ruled the world.
