I [Eb] [Ab] [Fm] [Db]
[Eb] [Ab] [Fm] used [Db] to rule [Eb] the world, [Ab] seas would rise when I [Fm] gave the word.
Now in the [Db] morning I sleep [Eb] alone, [Ab] sweep the streets I [Fm] used to own.
[Db]
[Eb] [Ab] [Fm] I used [Db] to roll [Eb] the dice, [Ab] feel the fear in my [Fm] enemies eyes.
[Db] Listen as the crowd [Eb] would sing, [Ab] now the old king is [Fm] dead and lonely the king.
One [Db] minute I have [Eb] the [Ab] key, next the walls are [Fm] closed on me.
And I [Db] discovered that my [Eb] castle stang, [Ab] upon pillars of [Fm] salt and pillars of sand.
[Db] I hear [Eb] Jerusalem bells are [Ab] ringing, Roman [Fm] cavalry choirs are [Db] singing.
Be [Eb] my mirror, my sword and [Ab] shield, my [Fm] missionaries in the foreign [Db] field.
For some [Eb] reason I can't [Ab] explain, once you're [Fm] gone it was never, [Db] never an [Eb] honest word.
[Cm] Brothers when I [Fm] ruled the [Db] world, [Eb] [Ab] [Fm] [Db]
[Eb] [Ab] [Fm] it was [Db] the wicked and [Eb] wild winds.
[Ab] Blew down the doors [Fm] to let me in, [Db] shattered windows and the [Eb] sound of drums.
[Ab] People couldn't [Fm] believe what I'd become, [Db]
[Eb] revolutionaries [Ab] wait.
Hold my head on [Fm] a silver plate, just [Db] a puppet on a [Eb] lonely string.
[Ab] Ah, who would [Fm] ever want to be king?
