Strum : Down Down Up Up Down
Chords : F , G , C , Am
[Verse 1]
Am F G
I used to rule the world
C Am
Seas would rise when I gave the word
F G
Now in the morning I sleep alone
C Am
Sweep the streets I used to own
F G C Am x2
[Verse 2]
Am F G
I used to roll the dice
C Am
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
F G
Listen as the crowd would sing:
C Am
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
[Verse 3]
Am F G
One minute I held the key
C Am
Next the walls were closed on me
F G
And I discovered that my castles stand
C Am
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[Chorus]
F G
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
C Am
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
F G
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
C Am
My missionaries in a foreign field
F G
For some reason I can't explain
C Am F G
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
Em C
That was when I ruled the world
F G C Am x2
[Verse 4]
Am F G
It was the wicked and wild wind
C Am
Blew down the doors to let me in.
F G
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
C Am
People couldn't believe what I'd become
[Verse 5]
Am F G
Revolutionaries wait
C Am
For my head on a silver plate
F G
Just a puppet on a lonely string
C Am
Oh who would ever want to be king?
[Chorus]
F G
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
C Am
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
F G
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
C Am
My missionaries in a foreign field
F G
For some reason I can't explain
C Am
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
F G
never an honest word
Em C
But that was when I ruled the world
F Am x3
G x2
F G C Am x2
Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh
[Chorus]
F G
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
C Am
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
F G
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
C Am
My missionaries in a foreign field
F G
For some reason I can't explain
C Am
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
F G
never an honest word
C Am
But that was when I ruled the world
F G C Am and fading...
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
