[Verse 1] 
* first set of chords *
           C#      D#
I used to rule the world,
           G#                   Fm
Seas would rise when I gave the word.
                     C#    D#
Now in the morning I sleep alone,
          G#                Fm
Sweep the streets I used to own.

C# D# G# Fm x2

          C#       D#
I used to roll the dice,
         G#                 Fm
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes.
              C#          D#
Listen as the crowd would sing,
         G#                Fm
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
             C#       D#
One minute I held the key, 
         G#                   Fm
Next the walls were closed on me.
                         C#      D#
And I discovered that my castles stand,
     G#                  Fm
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand.


[Chorus]
* second set of chords *
  C#             D#
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing,
G#            Fm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing.
C#               D#
Be my mirror, my sword and shield,
   G#                Fm
My missionaries in a foreign field.
C#                D#
For some reason I can't explain,
G#                    Fm
Once you'd gone it was never,
         C#     D#
Never an honest word.
             G#               Fm
And that was when I ruled the world.

C# D# G# Fm x2

[Verse 2]
                      C#   D#
It was the wicked and wild wind,
              G#              Fm
Blew down the doors to let me in.
                          C#       D#
Shattered windows and the sound of drums,
       G#                    Fm
People couldn't believe what I'd become.
         C#     D#
Revolutionaries wait
       G#               Fm
For my head on a silver plate.
                   C#     D#
Just a puppet on a lonely string,
    G#                        Fm
Oh, who would ever want to be king?


[Chorus]
* second set of chords *
  C#             D#
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing,
G#            Fm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing.
C#               D#
Be my mirror, my sword and shield,
   G#                Fm
My missionaries in a foreign field.
C#                D#
For some reason I can't explain,
  G#                     Fm
I know Saint Peter won't call my name,
         C#     D#
Never an honest word.
             G#               Fm
And that was when I ruled the world.
