Intro - x2 -: Gb - Ab - Db - Bbm

- Bbm  -     Gb        Ab
I used to rule the world 
           Db                    Bbm
Seas would rise when I gave the word 
                     Gb     Ab
Now in the morning I sleep alone 
          Db                 Bbm
Sweep the streets I used to own

Gb - Ab - Db - Bbm    x2

- Bbm  -     Gb         Ab
I used to roll the dice 
          Db                 Bbm
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes 
              Gb            Ab
Listen as the crowd would sing: 
          Db                 Bbm
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"


- Bbm  -        Gb        Ab
One minute I held the key 
         Db                    Bbm
Next the walls were closed on me 
                          Gb        Ab
And I discovered that my castles stand 
     Db                    Bbm
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand 

  Gb              Ab
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 
Db             Bbm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 
Gb                Ab
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield 
   Db                 Bbm
My missionaries in a foreign field 
Gb                 Ab
For some reason I can't explain 
Db                     Bbm              Gb      Ab
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
         Cm               Bbm 
That was when I ruled the world 

Gb - Ab - Db - Bbm    x2

- Bbm  -                 Gb     Ab
It was the wicked and wild wind 
              Db               Bbm
Blew down the doors to let me in. 
                          Gb        Ab
Shattered windows and the sound of drums 
       Db                    Bbm
People couldn't believe what I'd become

- Bbm  -    Gb      Ab
Revolutionaries wait 
        Db               Bbm
For my head on a silver plate 
                   Gb      Ab
Just a puppet on a lonely string
   Db                         Bbm
Oh who would ever want to be king? 


  Gb              Ab
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 
Db             Bbm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 
Gb                Ab
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield 
   Db                 Bbm
My missionaries in a foreign field 
Gb                 Ab
For some reason I can't explain 
  Db                     Bbm              
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
   Gb            Ab 
never an honest word
              Cm               Bbm 
But that was when I ruled the world
