Verse1

[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 al[D]one

Sweep the [G]streets I used to [Em]own

Interlude

[C] [D] [G] [Em]

Verse2

[Em]I used to[C] roll the [D]dice

Feel the f[G]ear in my enemy's [Em]eyes

Listen as the [C]crowd would s[D]ing:

"Now the o[G]ld king is dead! L[Em]ong live the king!"

On[Em]e minute I [C]held the [D]key

Next the [G]walls were closed on [Em]me

And I discovered that my c[C]astles st[D]and

Upon [G]pillars of salt and p[Em]illars of sand

Chorus

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 go there was [Em]never, never an [C]honest [D]word

That was [Bm]when I ruled the [Em]world

Interlude

[C] [D] [G] [Em]

Verse3

[Em]It was the 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

[Em]Revolutio[C]naries [D]wait

For my h[G]ead on a silver [Em]plate

Just a puppet on a [C]lonely [D]string

Oh [G]who would ever want to be [Em]king?

Chorus

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 ,

nev[C]er an honest [D]word

But that was w[Bm]hen I ruled the w[Em]orld

Interlude

[C] [Em] [D]

[C](Oh[D]hhh[G]h O[Em]hhh Oh hh)

Chorus

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 ,

nev[C]er an honest [D]word

But that was w[Bm]hen I ruled the wo[Em]rld
