[Db] [Eb] [Abm]
[E] [Db]
[Eb] [Abm]
[E] I [Db] used to rule the world,
[Abm] Seas would rise when I gave the [E] word,
Now in the morning [Db] I sleep alone,
[Abm] Sweep the streets I [E] used to own.
[Dbm]
[Ebm] [Abm]
[E] [Db]
[Ebm] [Abm]
[Em] I [Dbm] used to roll the [Eb] dice,
[Abm] Feel the fear in my [E] enemies' eyes,
Listen [Dbm] as the crowd [Eb] would sing,
[Abm] Now the old king is dead, [E] along with the king,
One [Db] minute I held the key,
[Abm] Next the walls were [E] closed on me,
And I discovered [Dbm] that my castle [Eb] stands,
[Abm] Upon pillars of salt [E] and pillars of sand,
[Db] I hear terrace [Ebm] bells a [Abm]-ringing,
Roman [E] cavalry choirs are [Db] singing,
Be my mirror, my [Ebm] sword and shield,
[Abm]
My missionaries [E] in the battlefield,
[Db]
For some reason [Eb] I can't explain,
[Abm]
Once you've [E] gone there was never, never [Db]
a lonely [Ebm] one,
[Abm] That was when I ruled [E] the world,
[Bb]
[E] [Bb]
[Abm] It was a wicked [Db] and wild wind,
Gave [Abm] time for doors to let [E] me in,
Shattered windows [Db] and the sound of drums,
[Abm] People couldn't believe [E] what I'd become,
And [Dbm]
[Eb] revolutionaries wait,
[E] For my head on a silver plate,
Just for popping [Dbm] all over [Eb] this dream,
[Abm] All who would ever want to [E] be king,
[Dbm] I hear terrace [Eb] bells a [Abm]-ringing,
Roman [Gb] cavalry choirs are singing,
[Db]
Be my mirror, [Ebm] my sword and shield,
[Abm] My missionaries [B] in the battlefield,
[Dbm]
For some reason [Eb] I can't explain,
[Abm] I know Saint Peter [Gb] won't call my name,
[Db] Ever a [Ebm] loneliest one,
But [Abm] that was when I ruled [E] the world,
