[Eb] [F] [Bb]
[Gm] [Eb]
[F] [Bb]
[Gm] I [Eb] used to rule the world
[Bb] Seas would rise when I [Gm] gave the word
Now in the [Eb] morning I sleep alone
Sweep [Bb] the streets I [Gm] used to own
[Ebm]
I [F]
[Bb] [Gm] [Eb]
[F] [Bb]
[Gm] [Eb] used to roll [F] the dice
[Bb] Feel the fear in my [Gm] enemies' eyes
[Eb] Listen as the crowd [F] would sing
[Bb] Now the old king is dead, [Gm] long live the king
One [Eb] minute I held [F] the key
[Bb] Next the walls were closed [Gm] on me
And I [Eb] discovered that my castle was [F] damned
[Bb]
Upon pillars of salt [Gm] and pillars of sand
[Eb]
I hear jerry [F]-suit of bells a [Bb]-ringing
Rumbling [Gm] county choirs a [Ebm]-singing
Be my mirror, [Eb] my sword and [Bb] shield
Of missionaries [Gm] in a foreign field
[Eb] For some reason [F] I can't explain
[Gm]
Once a young girl there was never
[Eb] Never an [F] honest woman
[Bb] But that was when I [Gm] ruled the world
[Eb]
[Gm] [Eb]
[Bb]
[Gm] It was a [Eb] wicked and wild wind
[Bb] Blew down the doors to let [Gm] me in
Shattered [Eb] windows and the sound [F] of drums
[Bb] People couldn't believe [Gm] what I'd become
[Eb] Revolutionaries [F] wait
[Gm] For my hand on a silver plate
Just a [Eb] puppet on a lonely [F] string
[Bb] Oh, who would ever want [Gm] to be king?
[Eb] I hear jerry [F]-suit of bells a [Bb]-ringing
Rumbling county [Gm] choirs a-singing
[Eb]
Be my mirror, [F] my sword and shield
[Bb]
Of missionaries [Gm] in a foreign [Ebm] field
For some reason [F] I can't explain
[Bb] I know Saint Peter [Gm] won't call my name
[Eb] Never an [F] honest woman
But [Bb] that was when I ruled [Gm] the world
