          C        D
I used to rule the world

           G                    Em
Seas would rise when I gave the word

                     C      D
Now in the morning I sleep alone

          G                 Em
sweep the streets I used to own

C D G Em C D G Em
          C        D
I used to roll the dice

         G                  Em
feel the fear in my enemies eyes

              C           D
listen as the crowd would sing

         G                     Em
Now the old king is dead Long live The King

             C        D
One minute I held the key

         G                     Em
Next the walls were closed on me

                            C    D
And I discovered that my castles stand

     G                       Em
upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

  C              D
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

G             Em
Roman cavalry choirs are singing

C                D
Be my mirror, my sword and shield

   G                  Em
My missonaries in the foreign field

C                 D
For some reason I can't explain

G                 Em
Once you go there was never

          C     D
Never an honest word

             G                Em
But that was when I ruled the world

C D G Em C D G Em
                      C    D
It was the wicked and wild wind

              G               Em
blew down the doors to let me in

                          C        D
Shattered windows and the sound of drums

       G                     Em
People couldn't believe what I'd become

         C      D
Revolutionaries wait

       G                Em
For my head on a silver plate

                   C      D
Just a puppet on a lonely string

   G                         Em
Oh who would ever want to be king

  C              D
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

G             Em
Roman cavalry choirs are singing

C                D
Be my mirror, my sword and shield

   G                  Em
My missonaries in the foreign field

C                 D
For some reason I can't explain

  G                     Em
I know Saint Peter will call my name

      C         D
Never an honest word

             G                Em
But that was when I ruled the world
