Cut.
And let me know when you're set.
Set.
Set.
And action.
What's up?
This is the Dirty Heads, and you are watching Raw Session.
I used to rule [Eb] the world.
[D] Seas would rise when I came aboard.
Now in the morning I sleep alone.
Sweet streets I used to own.
Used to roll [Eb] dice.
[D] Feel the fear in my enemies' eyes.
Listen as the crowd [Eb] would sing.
[D] Now the old king is dead.
Long live the king.
One [Db] minute I [Gm] held the key.
[Bb] Next the walls were closed on me.
And I discovered that my [D] castle stands on pillars
of salt and pillars of sand.
[Db] Hear [Eb] Jerusalem bells a-ringing.
Roman [D] Calvary choirs a [Db]-singing.
Be my [Eb] mirror, my sword and [D] shield.
Missionaries in the fourth [Db] field.
For some [Eb] reason I can't explain.
[C] Once you knew there was never, [Db] never an [Eb] honest word.
[Cm] Well, that was when I [Fm] ruled the world.
Was [C] a wicked and wild wind.
Blew down the doors that led me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums.
People could not believe what I'd become.
[Bb]
Revolutionaries waved.
Bow my head on a silver plate.
And I was booked upon a lonely string.
Oh, who would ever [Fm] want to be king?
[Eb] Hear Jerusalem bells a [C]-ringing.
Roman Calvary choirs a [Db]-singing.
Be my [Eb] mirror, my sword and shield.
[D] Missionaries in the fourth [Db] field.
For some [Eb] reason I can't [Ab] explain.
No Saint [D] Peter would call my [Db] name.
Never an [Eb] honest word.
[C] Well, that was when I ruled the world.
[Ab]
[C] It was a [D] poisonous time to mix poison with wine.
And a serpent had slept inside a poisonous mind.
And I only really cared about the noblest class.
The other lower forms of life only cared about tax.
[Db] And I supported a war [Eb] raging across the sea
[Fm] that I never really thought could backfire on me.
[Db] Because I showed the other [Eb] people
to be free from their king.
[D] Yet I showed my own people they could do the same thing.
It was the longest regime, ended with guillotine.
And now my head's in a basket.
I can hear him off sync.
He thought he ruled the world when he ruled the world.
But if you rule the world, you never rule it.
[Eb] Hear Jerusalem bells a [Ab]-ringing.
Roman [Fm] Calvary choirs a-singing.
[Db] Be my [Eb] mirror, my sword and [C] shield.
Visionaries and phoreo.
For some [Eb] reason I can't explain.
No Saint [D] Peter will call my name.
Never an [Eb] honest word.
[Cm] Well, that was when I [Fm] ruled the world.
And let me know when you're set.
