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

D E C#m F#m
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
