[Verse 1]
* first set of chords *
I used to r[C#]ule the [D#]world,
Seas would [G#]rise when I gave the [Fm]word.
Now in the morning I [C#]sleep [D#]alone,
Sweep the [G#]streets I used to [Fm]own.
C# D# G# Fm x2
I used to [C#]roll the [D#]dice,
Feel the [G#]fear in my enemy's [Fm]eyes.
Listen as the [C#]crowd would [D#]sing,
"Now the [G#]old king is dead! [Fm]Long live the king!"
One minute I [C#]held the [D#]key,
Next the [G#]walls were closed on [Fm]me.
And I discovered that my [C#]castles [D#]stand,
Upon [G#]pillars of salt and [Fm]pillars of sand.
[Cborus]
* second set of chords *
I [C#]hear Jerusalem [D#]bells are ringing,
[G#]Roman Cavalry [Fm]choirs are singing.
[C#]Be my mirror, my [D#]sword and shield,
My [G#]missionaries in a [Fm]foreign field.
[C#]For some reason I [D#]can't explain,
[G#]Once you'd gone it was[Fm] never,
Never an [C#]honest [D#]word.
And that was [G#]when I ruled the [Fm]world.
* first set of chords *
C# D# G# Fm x2
[Verse 2]
It was the wicked and [C#]wild [D#]wind,
Blew down the [G#]doors to let me [Fm]in.
Shattered windows and the [C#]sound of [D#]drums,
People [G#]couldn't believe what [Fm]I'd become.
Revolutio[C#]naries [D#]wait
For my [G#]head on a silver [Fm]plate.
Just a puppet on a [C#]lonely [D#]string,
Oh, [G#]who would ever want to be [Fm]king?
[Cborus]
* second set of chords *
I [C#]hear Jerusalem [D#]bells are ringing,
[G#]Roman Cavalry [Fm]choirs are singing.
[C#]Be my mirror, my [D#]sword and shield,
My [G#]missionaries in a [Fm]foreign field.
[C#]For some reason I [D#]can't explain,
I [G#]know Saint Peter won't [Fm]call my name,
Never an [C#]honest [D#]word.
And that was [G#]when I ruled the [Fm]world.

Ooh oh oh oh ooh oh
