[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm]
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm] I used [Db] to rule the world,
[Ab] Seas would rise when I [Fm] gave the word.
Now in the morning [Db] I sleep alone,
[Eb]
[Ab] Sweep the streets I used to [Fm] 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 would [Eb] sing,
[Ab] Now the old king is dead, [Fm] along with the king.
For one minute [Db] I held the key,
[Ab] Next the walls were closed [Fm] on me,
And at the stomach [Db] of my castle [Eb] stand,
A [Ab] poem, pillars of song, [Fm] pillars of sound.
[Db] I can't tear us, [Eb] none of the elves are ringing,
[Ab] Roman Catholic [Fm] choirs are singing.
[Db] Be my mirror, my sword [Ab] and shield,
My missionaries in [Fm] the battlefield.
[Db] For some reason [Eb] I can't explain,
[Ab] Once you [Fm] go there was never, never [Db] an honest [Eb] word.
[Ab] That was when I ruled [Fm] the world.
[Db]
[Fm] It
[Db]
[Ab] [Fm] was a wicked [Db] and wild wind,
Blew [Ab] down the doors to let [Fm] me in.
The shattered windows [Db] and the sound of drums,
[Ab] People couldn't believe [Fm] what I'd become.
And [Db] revolutionaries [Eb] wait,
[Fm] For my head on a silver plate,
Just a puppet [Db] on a lonely [Eb] string.
[Ab] All who would ever want to [Fm] be king.
[Dbm] I can't tear us, [Eb] none of the elves are ringing,
[Ab] Roman Catholic [Fm] choirs are singing.
[Db] Be my mirror, [Eb] my sword and shield,
[Ab] My missionaries [Fm] in the battlefield.
[Db] For some reason [Eb] I can't explain,
[Ab] I know Saint Peter [G] will call [Fm] my name,
[Db] Never an [Eb] honest word.
But [Ab] that was when I ruled [Fm] the world.
