[Bb]
[Gm] [Bb]
[Gm] I used [Bb] to rule the world, [A] seas would rise when I [Dm] gave the word, now in the [Bb] morning I sleep alone, I [A] sweep the streets I used [Ab] to own.
[Eb]
[A]
I used [Bb] to roll the dice, [F] feel the fear in my enemies [Dm] eyes, listen as [Bb] the crowd [E] would sing, [F] now the old king is dead, [Dm] long live the king.
In one minute [Gm] I held [C] the key, [Eb] next the walls were [D] closed on me and I discovered that [Bb] my castle stands [Am] upon pillars of salt and [Dm] pillars of [F] sand.
[Bb] I hear Jerusalem [C] bells are ringing, [Am]
Roman cavalry [Dm] choirs [F] are singing, [Bb]
be my mirror [C] my sword and shield, [Am] my missionaries and [Dm] my foreign [F] peoples.
[Bb]
For some reason [Bbm] I can't explain, [Dm]
once you're gone [G] there's never, never [Bb] an honest [E] word, but [Am] that was when I [Ab] ruled the world.
[Cm] [C]
[Db] [C]
[Eb] [D]
It was a wicked [Bb] and wild [Gm] wind, [C] [Am] blew down the doors to let [Dm] me in, shattered windows [Bb] and the [Dm] sound [C] of drums, [Am] people couldn't believe [Dm] what I'd become.
[Bb]
[B] Revolutionaries [C] weighed [Eb] on my head on a silver [D] plate, just a puppet [Bb] on a lonely [C] string, [Am] who would ever want to [Dm] be king.
[F] [Bb] I hear Jerusalem [C] bells are ringing, [Am] Roman cavalry [Dm] choirs are singing, [Bb] be my mirror my [C] sword and shield, [Am] my missionaries and my [Dm] foreign [F] people.
[Bb] For some reason I [A] can't [G] explain, [Dm] I know Saint Peter will [G] call my name, never [Bb] an honest word, [Am] but that was when I [Db] ruled the world.
