G 
Em 
C 
D 
I  used to rule the world
G 
Em 
Seeds would rise when I gave the word
C 
D 
Now in the morning I sleep alone
G 
Em 
C 
D 
G 
Sweep the streets I used 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 
One minute I held the key
G 
Next the walls were closed on me
Em 
C 
D 
I discover that my castles stand
G 
Em 
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of  sand
C 
D 
I hear Jerusalem bells a -ringin'
G 
Em 
Roman cavalry choirs a -singin'
C 
D 
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
G 
Em 
My missionaries in a foreign field
C 
D 
For some reason I can't explain
G 
Em 
Once you go, there was never,
C 
D 
never an honest word
G 
Em 
C 
D 
G 
And that was when I ruled the world
Em 
C 
D 
It was the wicked and wild wind
G 
Blew down the doors to
Em 
let me in
Shattered windows and the
C 
D 
sound of drums
G 
People couldn't believe what
Em 
C 
I'd become
D 
Revolutionaries wait for my
G 
head on a silver plate
Em 
C 
D 
Just a puppet on a long leaf string
G 
Em 
Oh, who would ever want to be  king?
C 
D 
I hear Jerusalem bells a -ringin'
G 
Em 
Roman cavalry choirs a -singin'
C 
D 
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
G 
Em 
My missionaries in a foreign 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 one
G 
But that was when I ruled the

world
Em 
C 
D 
I hear turtles and 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 foreign field
C 
D 
For some reason I can't explain
G 
Em 
And I'll say Peter won't call my name
C 
D 
Never an honest word
G 
Em 
But that was when I ruled the world
