[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm]
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm] I used [Db] to rule the world, the [Ab] seas would rise when I gave [Fm] the word.
Now in the morning [Db] I sleep alone, [Eb]
[Ab] sweep the streets I used [Fm] to own.
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm]
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm] I used [Db] to roll [Eb] the dice, [Ab] feel the fear in my [Fm] enemies eyes.
Listen [Db] as the crowd [Eb] would sing, [Ab] now the old king is dead, [Fm] long live the king.
One minute [Db] I held [Eb] the key, [Ab] next the walls were closed [Fm] on me.
And I discovered [Db] that my castle [Eb] stood [Ab] upon pillars of salt and [Fm] pillars of sand.
[Db] I hear Jerry [Eb] Sutherland Nelson ringing, [Ab] Roman Catholic [Fm] choirs singing.
[Db] Be my mirror, my sword [Eb] and shield, [Ab] my missionaries in [Fm] a foreign field.
[Db] For some reason [Eb] I can't explain, [Ab] once you've gone [Fm] there was never, never [Db] an honest [Eb] word.
And [Ab] that was when I ruled [Fm] the world.

[Db]
[Ab] [Fm] It was a wicked [Db] and wild wind, blew [Ab] down the doors to let [Fm] me in.
Shattered windows [Db] and the sound of drums, [Ab] people couldn't believe [Fm] what I'd become.
[Db] Revolutionaries [Eb] wait [Fm] for my hand on a silver blade, just a puppet [Db] on a lonely [Eb] string.
[Ab] Oh, who would ever want to [Fm] be king?
[Db] I hear Jerry [Eb] Sutherland Nelson ringing, [Ab] Roman Catholic [Fm] choirs singing.
[Db] Be my mirror, [Eb] my sword and shield, [Ab] my missionaries [Fm] in a foreign field.
[Db] For some reason [Eb] I can't explain, [Ab] I know Saint Peter [G] won't call my name.
[Db] Never an [Eb] honest word, but [Ab] that was when I ruled [Fm] the world.
