Verse 1
C
D
G
Em
C
D
I used to rule the world
G
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Em
C
Now in the morning I sleep alone
D
G
Sweep the streets I used
Em
C
D
G
to own
Em
C
D
I used to roll the dice,
G
Em
feel the fear in my enemy's eyes,
C
D
listen as the crowd would sing
G
Now the old king is dead,
Em
long live the king
C
D
And one minute I held the key
G
Em
Next the walls were closed on me
C
D
And I discovered that my castle stand
G
C
Em
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
C
D
I hear Jerusalem bells a -ringing
G
Em
Roman cavalry choirs a -singing
C
D
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
G
Em
My missionaries in a barren field
C
D
For some reason I can't explain
G
Em
Once you go there is never,
C
D
never an honest end
G
And that was when I ruled the
Em
C
D
C
D
G
world
Em
C
D
It was a wicked and wild wind
G
Blew down the doors to
Em
let me in
Shattered windows and the
C
D
sound of troms
G
People couldn't believe what
Em
C
I'd become
D
Revolutionaries wait
G
For my head on a silver plate
Em
C
D
Just to flop it on a lonely string
G
Em
I would ever want to be king
C
D
I hear Jerusalem bells a -ringing
G
Em
Roman cavalry choirs a -singing
C
D
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
G
Em
My missionaries in a borrowed field
C
D
For some reason I can't explain
G
Em
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
C
D
Never an honest word
G
Em
And that was when I ruled the
C
D
G
Em
C
world
D
G
Em
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
C
D
Love, there are not as well
G
Em
But that was when I ruled the world
