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