[Intro]
Csus2 Dsus4 G Emadd9 x2
[Verse 1]
C Dsus4
I used to rule the world
G Em
Seas would rise when I gave the word
C Dsus4
Now in the morning I sleep alone
G Em
Sweep the streets I used to own
[Interlude]
C D G Emadd9 x2
[Verse 2]
C Dsus4 D
I used to roll the dice
G Em Emadd9
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
C Dsus4 D
Listen as the crowd would sing:
G Em Emadd9
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
C Dsus4 D
One minute I held the key
G Em Emadd9
Next the walls were closed on me
C Dsus4 D
And I discovered that my castles stand
G Em Emadd9
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[Chorus]
Cadd9 Dsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9 Dsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Cadd9 Dsus4
For some reason I can't explain
G Em7 C/E D
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
Bm G6/E
That was when I ruled the world
[Interlude]
C Dsus4 D G Em Emadd9 x2
[Verse 3]
C Dsus4 D
It was the wicked and wild wind
G Em Emadd9
Blew down the doors to let me in.
C Dsus4 D
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
G Em Emadd9
People couldn't believe what I'd become
C Dsus4 D
Revolutionaries wait
G Em Emadd9
For my head on a silver plate
C Dsus4 D
Just a puppet on a lonely string
G Em
Oh who would ever want to be king?
[Chorus]
Cadd9 Dsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9 Dsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Cadd9 Dsus4
For some reason I can't explain
G Em7
I know Saint Peter will call my name,
C/E D
never an honest word
Bm G6/E
But that was when I ruled the world
[Interlude]
Cadd9 Em7 x3
Dsus4 D x2
C Dsus4 D G Em Emadd9 C Dsus4 D G Em Emadd9
Ooo-oo---h, Ooo-oo-h; Ooo-oo---h, Ooo-ooh
[Chorus]
Cadd9 Dsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9 Dsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Cadd9 Dsus4
For some reason I can't explain
G Em7
I know Saint Peter will call my name,
[Outro]
C/E D
never an honest word
Bm G6/E
But that was when I ruled the world
C/E D G G6/E C/E D G G6/E C/E D G
Ooo-oo-oo-ooh, Ooo-oo-oo-ooh
