C

D

G

Em

I used to

C

rule the

D

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

D

G

Em

C

D

G

Em

I used to

C

roll the

D

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, long

Em

live the king

One minute, I

C

held the

D

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 Cavalry

Em

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'd gone, there was

Em

never, never an

C

honest

D

word

And that was

Hm

when I ruled the

Em

world

C

D

G

Em

C

D

G

Em

It was a wicked and

C

wild

D

wind

Blew down the

G

doors to let me

Em

in

Shattered windows and the

C

sound of

D

drums

People

G

couldn't believe what

Em

I'd become

Revolutio

C

naries

D

wait

For my

G

head on a silver

Em

plate

Just a puppet on a

C

lonely

D

string

Oh,

G

who would ever wanna be

Em

king?

I

C

hear Jerusalem

D

bells are ringing

G

Roman Cavalry

Em

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

I

G

know Saint Peter won't

Em

call my name

Never an

C

honest

D

word

But that was

Hm

when I ruled the

Em

world
