Capo 1
Standard Tuning
First Tab, Know It Is Pretty Accurate Though!
Intro- C-D-G-Em x2
I used to rule[C] the world[D]
Seas would rise when[G] I gave the word[Em]
Now in the morning I sleep alone[C] [D]
Sweep the streets[C] I used to own[Em]
C-D-G-Em x2
I used to roll t[C]he dice[D]
Feel the fear i[G]n my enemy's eyes[Em]
Listen as the crowd wo[C]uld sing[D]
"Now the old ki[G]ng is dead! Long live the ki[D]ng!"
One minute I held the [C]key[D]
Next the walls we[G]re closed on me[Em]
And I discovered that my castles stand[C] [D]
Upon pillar[G]s of salt and pillars of [Em]sand
I h[C]ear Jerusalem bells are [D]ringing
[G]Roman Cavalry choirs are[Em] singing
[C]Be my mirror, my sword and [D]shield
My mi[G]ssionaries in a foreign fi[Em]eld
[C]For some reason I can't explai[D]n
[G]Once you go there was never[Em]
Never an honest [C]word[D]
And that was when I r[G]uled the world[Em]
C-D-G-Em x2
It was the wicked and wild wind[C] [D]
Blew down the doors to l[G]et me in[Em]
Shattered windows and the sound of drums[C] [D]
People couldn[G]'t believe what I'd become[Em]
Revolutionaries w[C]ait[D]
For my head [G]on a silver plate[Em]
Just a puppet on a lonely strin[C]g[D]
Oh who would ever want to[G] be king?[Em]
I [C]hear Jerusalem bells are [D]ringing
[G]Roman Cavalry choirs a[Em]re singing
[C]Be my mirror, my sword and s[D]hield
[G]My missionaries in a foreign fie[Em]ld
[C]For some reason I can't explai[D]n
[G]I know Saint Peter won't call my name[Em]
[C]Never an honest word[D]
But that was when I r[G]uled the world[Em]
I [C]hear Jerusalem bells are [D]ringing
[G]Roman Cavalry choirs are[Em] singing
[C]Be my mirror, my sword and shi[D]eld
My missi[G]onaries in a foreign field[Em]
[C]For some reason I can't explai[D]n
I [G]know Saint Peter won't call my name[Em]
Never an honest[C] word[D]
But that was when I r[G]uled the world[Em]
C - D - G - Em x2
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
I [C]hear Jerusalem [D]bells are ringing
[G]Roman Cavalry [Em]choirs are singing
[C]Be my mirror, my [D]sword, and shield
My [G]missionaries in a [Em]foreign field
[C]For some reason I [D]can't explain
I [G]know Saint Peter will [Em]call my name ,
nev[C]er an honest [D]word
But that was w[G]hen I ruled the world [Em]
C - D - G - Em and fading...
