(C) (D) (G) (Em)
[Verse 1]
I used to (C)rule the (D)world

Sweep the (G)streets I used to (Em)own

I used to (C)roll the (D)dice
Feel the (G)fear in my enemy’s (Em)eyes
Listen as the (C)crowd would (D)sing:
“Now the (G)old king is dead! Long (Em)live the king!”
One minute I (C)held the (D)key
Next the (G)walls were closed on (Em)me
And I discovered that my (C)castles (D)stand
Upon (G)pillars of salt and pi(Em)llars of sand
[Chorus]
I (C)hear Jerusalem (D)bells are ringing
(G)Roman Cavalry (Em)choirs are singing
(C)Be my mirror, my (D)sword, and shield
My (G)missionaries in a (Em)foreign field
(C)For some reason I (D)can’t explain
(G)Once you go there was (Em)never, never an (C)honest (D)word
That was (Bm)when I ruled the (Em)world

It was the wicked and (C)wild (D)wind
Blew down the (G)doors to let me (Em)in.
Shattered windows and the (C)sound of (D)drums
People (G)couldn’t believe what (Em)I’d become
Revolutio(C)naries (D)wait
For my (G)head on a silver (Em)plate
Just a puppet on a (C)lonely (D)string
Oh (G)who would ever want to be (Em)king?
[Chorus]
I (C)hear Jerusalem (D)bells are ringing
(G)Roman Cavalry (Em)choirs are singing
(C)Be my mirror, my (D)sword, and shield
My (G)missionaries in a (Em)foreign field
(C)For some reason I (D)can’t explain
I (G)know Saint Peter won’t (Em)call my name,
never an (C)honest (D)word
But that was (Bm)when I ruled the (Em)world
[Chorus]
I (C)hear Jerusalem (D)bells are ringing
(G)Roman Cavalry (Em)choirs are singing
(C)Be my mirror, my (D)sword, and shield
My (G)missionaries in a (Em)foreign field

I (G)know Saint Peter won’t (Em)call my name,
