[Intro]C - D9(11) - G - Em[Verse]C D9(11)I used to rule the worldG EmSeas would rise when I gave the wordC D9(11)Now in the morning and I sleep aloneG EmSweep the streets I used to own[Bridge][C - D9(11) - G - Em]x2[Verse]C D9(11)I used to roll the diceG EmFeel the fear in my enemy's eyesC D9(11)Listen as the crowd would sing:G Em"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"[Verse]C D9(11)One minute I held the keyG EmNext the walls were closed on meC D9(11)And I discovered that my castles standG EmUpon pillars of salt and pillars of sand[Verse]C D9(11)I hear Jerusalem bells are ringingG EmRoman Cavalry choirs are singingC D9(11)Be my mirror, my sword, and shieldG EmMy missionaries in a foreign fieldC D9(11)For some reason I can't explainG/B Em C D9(11)Once you go there was never, never an honest wordG EmThat was when I ruled the world[Bridge][C - D9(11) - G - Em]x2[Verse]C D9(11)It was the wicked and wild windG EmBlew down the doors to let me inC D9(11)Shattered windows and the sound of drumsG EmPeople couldn't believe what I'd become[Verse]C D9(11)Revolutionaries waitG EmFor my head on a silver plateC D9(11)Just a puppet on a lonely stringG EmOh who would ever want to be king?[Verse]C D9(11)I hear Jerusalem bells are ringingG EmRoman Cavalry choirs are singingC D9(11)Be my mirror, my sword, and shieldG EmMy missionaries in a foreign fieldC D9(11)For some reason I can't explainG EmI know Saint Peter won't call my name,C D9(11)never an honest wordBm EmBut that was when I ruled the world.[Bridge][C - Em]x3D -D
