CAPO 1
INTRO: [C] [D] [G]x2 [Em]
[Em]I used [C]to rule [D]the world
Seas would [G]rise when I gave the [Em]word
Now in the morning I [C]sleep [D]alone
Sweep the [G]streets I used to [Em]own
[C]x2 [D] [G] [Em]
[Em]I used [C]to roll [D]the dice
Feel the [G]fear in my enemy's [Em]eyes
Listen as the [C]crowd would [D]sing:
"Now the [G]old king is dead! [Em]Long live the king!"
[Em]One minute [C]I held [D]the key
Next the [G]walls were closed on [Em]me
And I discovered that my [C]castles [D]stand
Upon [G]pillars of salt and [Em]pillars of sand
I [C]hear Jerusalem [D]bells are ringing
[G]Roman [Em]Cavalry choirs are singing
[C]Be my mirror, my [D]sword, and shield
My [G]missionaries in a [Em]foreign field
[C]For some reason I [D]can't explain
[G]Once you go there was [Em]never, never [C]an [D]honest word
That was [Bm]when I ruled [Em]the world
[C]x2 [D] [G] [Em]
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name,
never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
[C]x3 [Em]
[D]x2
[C]x2 [D] [G] [Em]
Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name,
never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
[C]an [D] [Bm]fading... [Em]
