intro : Cadd9 Dsus4 – G Em7 x2
( Em7 ) Cadd9 Dsus4
i used to rule the world
G Em7
seas would rise when i gave the word
Cadd9 Dsus4
now in the morning i sleep alone
G Em7
sweep the streets i used to own
Cadd9 Dsus4 – G Em7 x2
( Em7 ) Cadd9 Dsus4
i used to roll the dice
G Em7
feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
Cadd9 Dsus4
listen as the crowd would sing :
G Em7
“now the old king is dead! long live the king!”
( Em7 ) Cadd9 Dsus4
one minute i held the key
G Em7
next the walls were closed on me
Cadd9 Dsus4
and i discovered that my castles stand
G Em7
upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Cadd9 Dsus4
i hear jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em7
roman cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9 Dsus4
be my mirror , my sword , and shield
G Em7
my missionaries in a foreign field
Cadd9 Dsus4
for some reason i can’t explain
G Em7 Cadd9 Dsus4
once you go there was never , never an honest word
G Em7
that was when i ruled the world
Cadd9 Dsus4 – G Em7 x2
( Em7 ) Cadd9 Dsus4
it was the wicked and wild wind
G Em7
blew down the doors to let me in .
Cadd9 Dsus4
shattered windows and the sound of drums
G Em7
people couldn’t believe what i’d become
( Em7 ) Cadd9 Dsus4
revolutionaries wait
G Em7
for my head on a silver plate
Cadd9 Dsus4
just a puppet on a lonely string
G Em7
oh who would ever want to be king?
Cadd9 Dsus4
i hear jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em7
roman cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9 Dsus4
be my mirror , my sword , and shield
G Em7
my missionaries in a foreign field
Cadd9 Dsus4
for some reason i can’t explain
G Em7
i know saint peter will call my name ,
Cadd9 Dsus4
never an honest word
G Em7
but that was when i ruled the world
Cadd9 Em7 x3
Dsus4 x2
Cadd9 – Dsus4 – G Em7 x2
( ohhhhh ohhh ohhh )
Cadd9 Dsus4
i hear jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em7
roman cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9 Dsus4
be my mirror , my sword , and shield
