[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.

[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.

Ooh oh oh oh ooh oh
G# Fm
Ooh oh oh oh ooh oh
C# D#
Ooh oh oh oh ooh oh

Ooh oh oh oh ooh oh
Ooh oh oh oh ooh oh
