I used to rule the [E]
world, [C#m] seas would rise when I [F#m] gave the word.
Now in the morning [Bm] I sleep _ [E] alone, [A] sweep the streets I used [F#m] to own.
_ _ [D] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ [F#m] I used [D] to roll [E] the dice, feel the [A] fear in my [F#m] enemy's eyes.
[A] Listened as the crowd [E] would see, now [A] the old king's dead, [F#m] long live the king.
One minute [D] I held _ [E] the key, [A]
next the walls were closed [F#m] on me.
And I discovered [D] that my _ [E] castle stand upon pillars of salt and [F#m] pillars of sand.
[D] I hear [E] Jerusalem bells a-ringing, Roman [F#m] cavalry choirs a-singing.
[D] Be my lord, [E]
my shield, [A] my missionaries in [F#m] a foreign [D] field.
For some reason, [E] _
I [A] know Saint Peter [F#m] won't call my name.
[A] Never an honest word, but that was when I [F#m] ruled the world.
_ [D] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [F#m]
It was a wicked [D] and a wild [E] _
wind, [A] blew the doors down and let [F#m] me in.
Windows [D] and the sound [E] of drums, [A] people couldn't believe what [F#m] I'd become.
_ _ _ [E] Revolutionaries wait for [A] my head on a silver [F#m] plate, just like a puppet [D] on a lonely [B]
string.
Ah, who would ever want to be king?
[D] I hear Jerusalem [E]
bells a-ringing, [A] Roman cavalry [F#m]
choirs a-singing.
Be [D] my mirror, [E] my sword, my shield, [A] my missionaries in [F#m] a foreign field.
[D] For some reason, [E] I can't explain, [C#m] I know Saint Peter [F#m] won't call my name.
[D] Never an honest [A]
word, but that was when I ruled the [F#m]
world.
