_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ I used to [Db] roll [Eb] the dice [Ab]
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the [Db] crowd [Eb] would sing _ Now the old king is [Ab] dead along with the king

I discovered [Db] that my _ castle [Eb] _ stands [Ab] Upon pillars of salt and [Fm] pillars of sand
I [Db] hear _ Jerusalem [Ab] bells a-ringing Roman cavalry [Fm] choirs a-singing
[Db] Be my mirror, [Eb] my sword [Ab] and shield My _ missionaries in [Fm] a foreign field
[Db] For some reason [Eb] I can't [Ab] explain How once you'd gone [Fm] there was never, never [Db] an _ _ [Eb] honest word
[Ab] But that was when I ruled the world _

Shattered windows [Db] and the sound [Eb] of drums _ People couldn't believe [Fm] what I'd become _
[Db] _ _ _ Revolutionaries [Eb] wait For my [Ab] head on a silver [Fm] plate
Just a puppet [Db] on a lonely [Ab] [Eb] string _ All who would ever want to [Fm] be king
[Db] I hear _ Jerusalem bells [Ab] a-ringing Roman cavalry [Fm] choirs a-singing
[Db] Be my [Eb] mirror, my sword and shield [Ab] My missionaries [Fm] in a foreign field
[Db] For some reason [Eb] I can't [Ab] explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never [Db] an _ [Eb] honest word [Ab] But that was when I ruled [Fm] the world _
