[Eb]
[Ab] [Fm]
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm]
I [Db] used to [Ab] rule the world, seas would rise when I [Fm] gave the word.
Now in the [Db] morning I sleep [Ab] alone, sweep the streets I [Fm] used to own.
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm]
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm]
I [Db] used to roll [Eb] the dice, [Ab] feel the fear in my [Fm] enemies' eyes.
Listen [Db] as the crowd [Eb] would sing, [Ab] now the old king is dead,
[Fm] I longed for the king, one [Db] minute I held [Bb] the key.
[Ab] Next the walls were [Fm] closed on me, and I discovered [Db] that my castle [Eb] stood
[Ab] upon pillars of salt [Fm] and pillars of sand.
[Db] I hear every [Bb] cell of hells a [Ab]-ringing, Roman [Fm] Catholic choirs a-singing.
[Db] Be my mirror, [Bb] my sword and shield, [Ab] I'm just a lary [Fm] to the foreign [Db] field.
For some reason [Eb] I can't explain, [Ab] once you've gone [Fm] there was never,
never [Db] an honest [Eb] word, [Ab] and that was when I ruled [Fm] the world.
[Db]
[Fm]
[Db]
[Fm] It was a wicked [Db] and wild [Ab] wind, blew down the doors to let [Fm] me in.
Shattered windows [Db] and the sound [Ab] of drums, people couldn't believe [Fm] what I'd become.
[Db] [Eb] Revolutionaries wait [Fm] for my hand on a silver plate, just a puppet [Db] on a lonely [Eb] string.
[Ab] Oh, who would ever want to [Fm] be king?
[Dbm] I hear every [Eb] cell of hells a [Ab]-ringing, Roman Catholic [Fm] choirs a-singing.
[Db] Be my mirror, [Eb] my sword and shield, [Ab] I'm just a lary to [Fm] the foreign field.
[Db] For some reason [Eb] I can't explain, [Ab] I know St.
Peter [F] won't call my name,
[Db] never an honest [Eb] word, but [Ab] that was when I ruled [Fm] the world.
