I got some requests for the plucking pattern, it's really easy and you just repeat

INTRO: Fadd9 – Gsus4 - C – Am7    x2

(Am7)     Fadd9    Gsus4
I used to rule the world 
           C                    Am7
Seas would rise when I gave the word 
                     Fadd9   Gsus4
Now in the morning I sleep alone 
          C                 Am7
Sweep the streets I used to own

Fadd9 – Gsus4 - C – Am7    x2

(Am7)     Fadd9     Gsus4
I used to roll the dice 
          C                 Am7
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes 
              Fadd9        Gsus4
Listen as the crowd would sing: 
          C                 Am7
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"


(Am7)        Fadd9    Gsus4
One minute I held the key 
         C                    Am7
Next the walls were closed on me 
                          Fadd9    Gsus4
And I discovered that my castles stand 
     C                    Am7
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand 

  Fadd9          Gsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 
C             Am7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 
Fadd9            Gsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield 
   C                 Am7
My missionaries in a foreign field 
Fadd9             Gsus4
For some reason I can't explain 
C                     Am7             Fadd9  Gsus4
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
         C                Am7
That was when I ruled the world 

Fadd9 – Gsus4 - C – Am7    x2

(Am7)                  Fadd9 Gsus4
It was the wicked and wild wind 
              C               Am7
Blew down the doors to let me in. 
                          Fadd9    Gsus4
Shattered windows and the sound of drums 
       C                    Am7
People couldn't believe what I'd become

(Am7)    Fadd9  Gsus4
Revolutionaries wait 
        C               Am7
For my head on a silver plate 
                   Fadd9  Gsus4
Just a puppet on a lonely string
   C                         Am7
Oh who would ever want to be king? 


  Fadd9          Gsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 
C             Am7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 
Fadd9            Gsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield 
   C                 Am7
My missionaries in a foreign field 
Fadd9             Gsus4
For some reason I can't explain 
  C                     Am7             
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
   Fadd9       Gsus4
never an honest word
              C               Am7 
But that was when I ruled the world  

Fadd9 – Am7 x3
Gsus4 x2


Fadd9  - Gsus4 - C – Am7    x2
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

  Fadd9          Gsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 
C             Am7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 
Fadd9            Gsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield 
   C                 Am7
My missionaries in a foreign field 
Fadd9             Gsus4
For some reason I can't explain 
  C                     Am7             
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
  Fadd9        Gsus4
never an honest word
              C               Am7(once)
But that was when I ruled the world
