[Eb] [Ab]
[Fm] [Db]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Fm] I [Db] used to rule [Ab] the world, the 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 [Eb] the dice, [Ab] feel the fear in my [Fm] enemies eyes
Listen [Db] as the crowd [Ab] would sing, now the old king is dead, [Fm] long live the king
One [Db] minute I held [Bb] the key, [Ab] next the walls were [Fm] closed on me
And I discovered [Db] that my castle [Ab] stood upon pillars of stone [Fm] and pillars of sand
[Db] I hear [Eb] Jerusalem bells are ringing, [Ab]
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 [Eb] I can't [Bb] explain, [Ab]
once you go [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 the wicked [Db] and wild [Ab] wind, blew down the [Ab] doors to let [Fm] me in
The shattered windows [Db] and the sound [Ab] of drums, people couldn't believe [Fm] what I'd become
[Db]
[Eb] Revolutionaries wait [Ab] for my hand on a [Fm] silver plate, just a puppet [Db] on a lullaby
[Eb] It's thrilling, [Ab] all could ever want [Fm] of a king
[Dbm] I hear [Eb] Jerusalem bells are ringing, [Ab]
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
