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

o-o-o-oh o-[F]ohhh [G]ohh o-o-o-oh o-[C]ohhh [Am]ohh
[w/ backing (o-o-o-oh o-ohhh ohh)]
[F]Hear Jerusalem [G]bells are ringing, [C]Roman Cavalry [Am]choirs are singing
[F]Be my mirror, my [G]sword, and shield, My [C]missionaries in a [Am]foreign field
[F]For some reason I [G]can't explain, I [C]know Saint Peter will [Am]call my name,
[Single Strums]
never an [F*]honest [G*]word, But that was [Em*]when I ruled the [Am*]world
