[Eb] [Ab]
[Fm] [Db] [Eb] [Ab]
[Fm] I [Db] used to [Eb] rule the world, [Ab] see the rise when I [Fm] gave the word.
Now in the [Db] morning I sleep [Eb] alone, [Ab] sweep the streets that I [Fm] used to roam.
[Eb] [Ab]
[Fm] [Db] I used to [Eb] roll the dice, [Ab] feel the fear in my enemies' eyes.
[Db] Listen as the [Eb] crowds would sing, [Ab] now the old king [Fm] is dead, long as the king.
[Db] When I [Eb] heard the king, [Ab] next to walls [Fm] were closed for me, and I discovered that my [Eb] castle was safe.
On pillars of [Fm] salt and pillars of sand, I hear the [Eb] drums and the bells are ringing.
[Ab] Roman cavalry [Fm] choirs are singing, be [Eb] my middleman, my sword, my shield.
[Ab] My missionaries [Fm] in a foreign field, for [F] some reason I can't explain.
But [Ab] what you do, there [Fm] was never, never an [Eb] honest word.
[Ab] I was when I ruled [Fm] the world, [Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Fm] [Db] took the wicked [Eb] my way.
[Ab] And I'm forced to [Fm] let it in, [Db] shattered windows and the [Eb] sound of drums.
[Ab] People couldn't [Fm] believe what I'd become, [Db] revolutionary [Eb] in a way.
[Ab] For my head on a [Fm] silver plate, just a [Db] puppet on a lonely [Eb] string.
[Ab] Oh, who would ever want [Fm] to be king?
I hear the drums [Eb] and the bells are ringing.
[Ab] Roman cavalry [Fm] choirs are singing.
Be [Eb] my middleman, my sword, my shield.
[Ab] My missionaries [Fm] in a foreign field, for some reason [Eb] I can't explain.
[Ab] No Saint Peter [Fm] won't call my name, never an [Eb] honest word.
[Ab] That was when I ruled [Fm] the world.
