(Em)
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
(Em)
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!"
(Em)
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 stand
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

(Em)
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
(Em)
C
D
Revolutionaries 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 will call my name ,
C
D
never an honest word
Bm
Em
But that was when I ruled the world

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

My missionaries in a foreign field
