[Db] [Eb] .
[Ab] [Fm] .
[Db] [Eb] .
[Ab] [Fm] I used [Db] to rule the world, the [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 own.
[Db] [Eb] .
[Ab] [Fm] .
[Db] [Eb] .
[Ab] [Fm] I used [Db] to roll the [Eb] dice, [Ab] feel the fear in my [Fm] enemy's eyes.
Listen [Db] as the crowd [Eb] would sing, [Ab] love the old king is dead, [Fm] love of the king.
One minute [Db] I [Eb] held the key, [Ab] next the walls were closed [Fm] on me.
And I discovered [Db] what my [Eb] castle's done, [Ab] upon pillars of sand, [Fm] pillars of sand.
[Dbm] I hear Jefferson [Eb] the bells are ringing, [Ab] roaring Catholic [Fm] choirs are singing.
[Dbm] Keep my mirror, [Db] my sword [Eb] and shield, [Ab] of missionaries in [Fm] the foreign field.
[Db] For some reason [Eb] I can't explain, [Ab] once upon [Fm] a time there was never, never [Db] an honest [Eb] word.
[Ab] That was when I ruled [Fm] the world.
[Db] .
[Fm] .
[Db] .
[Fm] It was the wicked [Db] and wild wind, blew [Ab] down the doors to let [Fm] me in.
We shattered windows [Db] in the sound [Eb] of drums, [Ab] people couldn't believe [Fm] what I'd become.
[Db] [Eb] Revolutionaries wait [Fm] for my name on a silver plate, just a puppet [Db] on a lonely [Eb] string.
[Ab] Oh, who would ever want a [Fm] king?
.
[Db] I hear Jefferson [Eb] the bells are ringing, [Ab] roaring Catholic [Fm] choirs are singing.
[Db] Keep my mirror, [Eb] my sword and shield, [Ab] of missionaries [Fm] in the foreign [Db] field.
For some reason [Eb] I can't explain, [Ab] I know Saint Peter [G] won't call [Fm] my name.
[Db] Never an honest [Eb] word, but [Ab] that was when I ruled [Fm] the world.

[Db] For some reason [Eb] I can't explain, [Ab] I know Saint Peter [Fm] won't call my name.
[Db] Never an [Eb] honest word, but [Ab] that was when I ruled [Fm] the world.
