Put capo on 1st fret.

	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	x2

	C	D
I used to	roll the	dice

	G	Em
Feel the	fear in my enemy's	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 s	tand

	G	Em
Upon	pillars of salt and	pillars of sand

	C	D
I	hear Jerusalem	bells are ringing

	G	Em
	Roman Cavalry	choirs are singing

	C	D
	Be my mirror, my	sword, and shield

	G	Em
My	missionaries in a	foreign field

	C	D
	For some reason I	can't explain

	G	Em	C	D
	Once you go there was	never, never an	honest	word

	Bm	Em
That was	when I ruled the	world

	C	D	G	Em	x2

	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
Revolutio	naries	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 are ringing

	G	Em
	Roman Cavalry	choirs are singing

	C	D
	Be my mirror, my	sword, and shield

	G	Em
My	missionaries in a	foreign field

	C	D
	For some reason I	can't explain

	G	Em
I	know Saint Peter won't	call my name ,

	C	D
nev	er an honest	word

	Bm	Em
But that was	when I ruled the	world

	C	Em	x3

	D	x2

	C	D	G	Em	x2

(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

	C	D
I	hear Jerusalem	bells are ringing

	G	Em
	Roman Cavalry	choirs are singing

	C	D
	Be my mirror, my	sword, and shield

	G	Em
My	missionaries in a	foreign field

	C	D
	For some reason I	can't explain

	G	Em
I	know Saint Peter won't	call my name ,

	C	D
ne	ver an honest	word

	Bm	Em
But that was	when I ruled the	world

	C	D	G	Em
	Oooo	oh Oo	oooh	Oooooh
