[D]
[Em]
[C] [D]
[Em] I used [C] to [G] rule the world,
Seas would rise when I [Em] gave the word.
Now in the morning [C] I sleep [G] alone,
Sweet the streets I [Em] used to own.
[C] [D] I
[G] [Em]
[C] [D]
[G] [Em] used [C] to roll [G] the dice,
Feel the fear in my [Em] enemies' eyes,
Listen [C] as the crowd [D] would sing.
Now [G] the old king is [Em] dead, along with the king.
One minute [C] I [G] held the key,
Next the walls were [Em] closed on me,
And I discovered that [C] my castle [G] stands
Upon pillars of [Em] salt and pillars of sand.
[G] I hear [A] Jerusalem bells a-ringing,
[G] Roman [Em] Catholic choirs are singing.
[C] Be my [A] mirror, my sword and shield,
[G] My missionaries [Em] in the foreign field.
[C] Oh, some [D] reason I can't explain,
[G] Once you'd [Em] gone there was never, never [C] a [D] loneliest word.
And that [G] was when I [Em] ruled the world.
[C]
[Em]
[Em] It was a wicked [C] and [G] wild wind,
Blew down the doors to [Em] let me in,
The shattered windows and [C] the sound [G] of drums.
People couldn't believe [Em] what I'd become.
[C] [D] Revolutionaries wait for [Em] my hand on a silver plate,
Just a puppet [C] on a [D] lonely string.
[G] Oh, who would ever [Em] want to be king?
[C] I hear [D] Jerusalem bells a-ringing,
[G] Roman [Em] Catholic choirs are singing.
[C] Be my [D] mirror, my sword and shield,
[G] My missionaries [Em] in the foreign field.
[C] Oh, some [D] reason I can't explain,
[G] I know Saint [E] Peter won't call my name,
[C] Never a [D] loneliest word.
But that [G] was when I [Em] ruled the world.
