I used to rule [Eb] the world, seas would rise when I [Fm] gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep [Eb]
alone, sweep the [Ab] streets I [Fm] used to own
[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 as the crowd [Eb] would sing, [Ab] now the old king is dead, [C] long live the king
One [Db] minute I held [Eb] the key, [Ab] next the walls were [Fm] closed on me
And I [Db] discovered that my castle [Eb]
stands upon pillars of sand
[Fm]
[Ab] I hear [Eb] Jerusalem bells are ringing, [Ab] Roman [Fm] cavalry choir is singing
[Ab] Be my mirror, [Eb] my sword and shield, [Ab] my missionaries [Fm] in a foreign field
[Ab] And for some reason [Eb] I can't explain, [Ab] once you gone [Fm] it was never, never [Db] an [Eb] honest word
That was when I [Fm] ruled the world
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab]
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab]
Once a [Db] wicked and wild [Eb]
wind, blew [Ab] down the doors to let me [Fm] in
Shattered windows [Db] and the sound of drums, people couldn't believe [Fm] what I'd become
Some [Ab] [Eb] revolutionaries wait, [Ab] for my head on a silver [F]
plate
Just a puppet [Db] on a lonely [Eb]
string, oh who would ever want [Fm] to be king
[Db] I hear [Eb] Jerusalem bells are ringing, [Ab] Roman [Fm] cavalry choir is singing
[Db] Be my mirror, [Eb] my sword and shield, [Ab] my missionaries in [Fm] a foreign field
[Ab] And for some reason [Eb] I can't explain, [Ab] I know Saint Peter [F] won't call my name
[Db] Never an [Eb] honest word, but [Ab] that was when I ruled [Fm] the [Db] world
