[Db] [Eb] [Ab]
[Fm] [Db]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Fm] I [Db] used to rule the world, [Ab] seas would rise when I [Fm] gave the word
Now in the morning [Db] I sleep [Eb] alone, [Ab] sweep the streets I [Fm] used to own
[Db]
I [Eb] [Ab]
[Fm] [Db]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Fm] [Db] used to roll the [Eb] dice, [Ab] feel the fear in my [Fm] enemies eyes
Listen [Db] as the crowd [Eb] would sing, [Ab] now the old king is dead, [Fm] long live the king
One [Db] minute I held the key, [Ab] next the walls would [Fm] close on me
And I discovered [Db] that my castle [Eb] stand, [Ab] upon pillars of salt [Fm] and pillars of sand
[Db] I hear jarrison [Eb] bells a [Ab]-ringing, Roman [Fm] Catholic choirs a-singing
[Db]
Be my mirror, my sword and shield, [Ab]
my missionaries [Fm] in the foreign field
[Db]
For some reason [Eb] I can't explain, [Fm]
once he had gone it was never, never [Db] an [Eb] honest word
[Ab] And that was when I ruled [Fm] the world
[Db]
It [Fm] [Db]
[Ab]
[Fm] was a wicked [Db] and wild wind, blew [Ab] down the doors to let [Fm] 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 hand on a silver plate
Just a puppet [Db] on a lonely [Eb] string, [Ab] off to whatever world I [Fm] became
[Dbm] I hear jarrison [Eb] bells a [Ab]-ringing, Roman Catholic [Fm] choirs a-singing
[Db]
Be my mirror, [Eb] my sword and shield, [Ab] my missionaries in [Fm] the foreign field
[Db]
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 [Db] world
