Intro

Verse 1
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-Glone, Sweep the C streets I used to Am own

Verse 2
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

Chorus
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
FFor 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

Instrumental Riff

Verse 3
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?

Chorus
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
