[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm] I [Db] used to rule the world, the [Ab] seas would rise when I [Fm] gave the word.

[Ab] [Fm] I [Db] used to roll [Eb] the dice, [Ab] feel the fear in my [Fm] enemies' eyes.
[Db] Listen as the crowd [Eb] would sing, [Ab] now the old king is dead, [Fm] long live the king.
One [Db] minute I held [Eb] the key, [Ab] next the walls were [Fm] closed on me.

[Db] I hear [Eb] Jerusalem bells a [Ab]-ringing, Roman [Fm] Catholic choirs [Db] singing.
Be my mirror, my [Eb] sword and shield, [Ab] my missionaries [Fm] in the foreign [Db] field.

Shattered windows [Db] and the sound [Eb] 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] Oh, who would ever want to [Fm] be king?
[Db] I hear Jerusalem [Eb] bells a [Ab]-ringing, Roman Catholic [Fm] choirs singing.
