[Ab] [Fm]
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm] I used [Db] to rule [Eb] the world, [Ab] seas would rise when I [Fm] gave the word.
Now in [Db] the morning I sleep [Eb] alone, [Ab] sweep the streets I [F] used to own.
[Db] I used to [Eb]
[Ab] [Cm]
[Db] [Eb]
[Ab] [Fm]
[Db] feel [Eb] the
[Ab] fear in my [F] enemies eyes, as [Db] soon as the crowd would [Eb] sing.
[Ab] Tell the old king he's dead, [F] I'll have the king.
One minute [Db] I [Eb] held the key, [Ab] next the walls [Fm] were closed on me.
And I discovered [Db] that my house [Eb] was inside, a [Ab] palm tree with no soft [F] leaves or [Fm] sand.
[Db] Old [Eb] Jerusalem bells were [Ab] ringing, Roman [Fm] cavalry choirs were [Db] singing.
Even under [Eb] my sword and [Ab] shield, missionaries [Fm] in a foreign [Db] field.
For some [Eb] reason I came
[Ab] into one suit [Fm] gone that was never, [Db] never in my own world.
[Eb]
[Ab] It's the loud [Fm] old world.

[Ab] [Fm]
[Db] [Eb] My own wind blew [Ab] down the doors to [Fm] let me in.
Shattered windows [Db] and the sound [Eb] of drums.
[Ab] People couldn't believe [F] what I'd become.
[Db] Revolutionaries [Eb] wait, [Ab] hold my head on a [Fm] silver plate.
It's the [Db] puppet on a loom [Eb] they stray.
[Ab] Oh, who would ever want [F] to be king?
[Db] Old Jerusalem [Ab] bells were ringing, Roman [Fm] cavalry choirs were [Db] singing.
Be my mirror, [Abm] my sword, my shield.
[Ab] Missionaries [Fm] in a foreign [Db] field.
For some reason [Eb] I can't explain.
[Ab] I know Saint Peter [Fm] don't call my name, [Db] never an honest [Ebm] one.
[Ab] But that was when I [Fm] ruled the world.
