[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm]
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm] I used [Db] to rule the world, [Ab] seize and rise when I [Fm] gave the word.
Now in the morning [Db] I sleep alone, [Eb] sweep [Ab] the streets I [Fm] used to own.

[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm] I used [Db] to roll [Eb] the dice, feel [Ab] the fear in my [Fm] enemies eyes.
Listen [Db] as the crowd [Eb] would sing, [Ab] now the old king is [Fm] dead, along with the king.
One minute [Db] I held the key, next [Ab] the walls were closed [Fm] on me.
And I discovered that [Db] my [Eb] castle stood [Ab] upon pillars of [Fm] stone, pillars of stone.
[Db] I hear Jerry [Eb] Sillamelson ringing, [Ab] Roman [Fm] Catholic choirs are singing.
[Db] Me, my mirror, [Eb] my sword and shield, [Ab] my missionaries [Fm] in a foreign field.
[Db] For some reason [Eb] I can't explain, [Ab] once he had [Fm] gone there was never, never [Db] an honest [Eb] word.
And [Ab] that was when I [Fm] ruled the world.

[Db]
[Ab] [Fm] It was a wicked [Db] and wild wind, blew [Ab] down the doors to [Fm] let me in.
Shattered windows [Db] and the sound of drums, [Ab] people couldn't believe [Fm] what I'd become.
[Db] Revolutionaries [Eb] wait [Fm] for my name on a silver plate, just a puppet [Db] on a lonely [Eb] string.
[Ab] Oh, who would ever [Fm] want to be king?
[Dbm] I hear Jerry [Eb] Sillamelson ringing, [Ab] Roman [Fm] Catholic choirs are singing.
[Db] Me, my mirror, [Eb] my sword and shield, [Ab] my [Fm] missionaries in a foreign field.
[Db] For some reason [Eb] I can't explain, [Ab] I know Saint Peter [G] won't call my [Fm] name.
[Db] Never an [Eb] honest word, but [Ab] that was when I ruled [Fm] the world.
