[Intro]
C D G Em x2
[Verse 1]
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
[Interlude]
C D G Em x2
[Verse 2]
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!"
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
C D G Em x2
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Interlude]
C D G Em x4
C D G Em x4 Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh
[Chorus]
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 C D G Em repeating, fading away Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
