RE MI LA FA#m
(F#m) RE MI
I used to rule the world
LA FA#m
Seas would rise when I gave the word
RE MI
Now in the morning I sleep alone
LA FA#m
Sweep the streets I used to own
RE - MI - LA - FA#m x2
(F#m) RE MI
I used to roll the dice
LA FA#m
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
RE MI
Listen as the crowd would sing:
LA FA#m
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
(F#m) RE MI
One minute I held the key
LA FA#m
Next the walls were closed on me
RE MI
And I discovered that my castles stand
LA FA#m
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
RE MI
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
LA FA#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
RE MI
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
LA FA#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
RE MI
For some reason I can't explain
LA FA#m RE MI
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
DO#m FA#m
That was when I ruled the world
RE MI LA FA#m
(F#m) RE MI
It was the wicked and wild wind
LA FA#m
Blew down the doors to let me in.
RE MI
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
LA FA#m
People couldn't believe what I'd become
(F#m) RE MI
Revolutionaries wait
LA FA#m
For my head on a silver plate
RE MI
Just a puppet on a lonely string
LA FA#m
Oh who would ever want to be king?
RE MI
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
LA FA#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
RE MI
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
LA FA#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
RE MI
For some reason I can't explain
LA FA#m
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
RE MI
never an honest word
DO#m FA#m
But that was when I ruled the world
RE FA#m x3
MI x2
RE MI LA FA#m
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
RE MI
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
LA FA#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
RE MI
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
LA FA#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
RE MI
For some reason I can't explain
LA FA#m
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
RE MI
never an honest word
DO#m FA#m
But that was when I ruled the world
RE - MI - DO#m - FA#m
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
