TUNED HALF STEP DOWN - Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
INTRO: D - E - A - F#m x2
[(F#m)]I used to r[D]ule the w[E]orld
Seas would [A]rise when I gave the [F#m]word
Now in the morning I [D]sleep al[E]one
Sweep the [A]streets I used to [F#m]own
D - E - A - F#m x2
[(F#m)]I used to r[D]oll the di[E]ce
Feel the f[A]ear in my enemy's [F#m]eyes
Listen as the [D]crowd would s[E]ing:
"Now the o[A]ld king is dead! L[F#m]ong live the king!"
[(F#m)]One minute I h[D]eld the k[E]ey
Next the [A]walls were closed on [F#m]me
And I discovered that my c[D]astles st[E]and
Upon [A]pillars of salt and p[F#m]illars of sand
I [D]hear Jerusalem [E]bells are ringing
[A]Roman Cavalry [F#m]choirs are singing
[D]Be my mirror, my [E]sword, and shield
My [A]missionaries in a [F#m]foreign field
[D]For some reason I [E]can't explain
[A]Once you go there was [F#m]never, never an [D]honest [E]word
That was [C#m]when I ruled the [F#m]world
D - E - A - F#m x2
[(F#m)]It was the wicked and [D]wild [E]wind
Blew down the [A]doors to let me [F#m]in.
Shattered windows and the [D]sound of [E]drums
People [A]couldn't believe what [F#m]I'd become
[(F#m)]Revolutio[D]naries [E]wait
For my h[A]ead on a silver [F#m]plate
Just a puppet on a [D]lonely [E]string
Oh [A]who would ever want to be [F#m]king?
I [D]hear Jerusalem [E]bells are ringing
[A]Roman Cavalry [F#m]choirs are singing
[D]Be my mirror, my [E]sword, and shield
My [A]missionaries in a [F#m]foreign field
[D]For some reason I [E]can't explain
I [A]know Saint Peter will [F#m]call my name ,
nev[D]er an honest [E]word
But that was w[C#m]hen I ruled the w[F#m]orld
D - F#m x3
E x2
D - E - A - F#m x2
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
I [D]hear Jerusalem [E]bells are ringing
[A]Roman Cavalry [F#m]choirs are singing
[D]Be my mirror, my [E]sword, and shield
My [A]missionaries in a [F#m]foreign field
[D]For some reason I [E]can't explain
I [A]know Saint Peter will [F#m]call my name ,
nev[D]er an honest [E]word
But that was w[C#m]hen I ruled the wo[F#m]rld
D - E - C#m - F#m and fading...
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
