Verse 2
C
D7
I used to roll the dice
G
Em7
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
C
D7
Listen as the crowd would sing
G
Em7
Now the old king is dead, long live the king
C
D7
One minute I held the key
G
Em7
Next the walls were closed on me
C
D7
And I discovered that my castles stand
G
Em7
Upon pillars of salt and pillards of sand
Chorus 1
C
D7
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G
Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C
D7
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
G
Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
C
D7
For some reason I can't explain
G
Em7
Once you go there was never,
C
D7
never an honest word
G
Em7
And that was when I ruled the world

Verse 3

It was a wicked and wild wind
G
Em7
Blew down the doors to let me in
C
D7
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
G
Em7
People couldn't believe what I'd become
C
D7
Revolutionaries wait
G
Em7
For my head on a silver plate
C
D7
Just a puppet on a lonely string
G
Em7
Oh, who would ever want to be king?

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word
G

But that was when I ruled the world
