(intro 2x) C#5  D#5  G#5  F5

          C#5       D#5
I used to rule the world
           G#5                  F5
Seas would rise when I gave the word
                     C#5      D#5
Now in the morning I sleep alone
          G#5                F5
Sweep the streets I used to own

( C#5  D#5  G#5  F5 ) (2x)

          C#5        D#5
I used to roll the dice
          G#5                F5
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
              C#5           D#5
Listen as the crowd would sing:
          G#5                F5
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

            C#5       D#5
One minute I held the key
         G#5                   F5
Next the walls were closed on me
                          C#5       D#5
And I discovered that my castles stand
     G#5                   F5
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

  C#5             D#5
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G#5            F5
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C#5               D#5
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   G#5                F5
My missionaries in a foreign field
C#5                D#5
For some reason I can't explain
G#5                    F5
Once you'd gone there was never,
         C#5    D#5
never an honest word
         G#5               F5
That was when I ruled the world

( C#5  D#5  G#5   F5 ) (2x)

                      C#5    D#5
It was the wicked and wild wind
              G#5              F5
Blew down the doors to let me in.
                          C#5       D#5
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
       G#5                   F5
People couldn't believe what I'd become

         C#5     D#5
Revolutionaries wait
        G#5              F5
For my head on a silver plate
                   C#5     D#5
Just a puppet on a lonely string
   G#5                        F5
Oh who would ever want to be king?

  C#5             D#5
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G#5            F5
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C#5               D#5
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   G#5                F5
My missionaries in a foreign field
C#5                D#5
For some reason I can't explain
  G#5                    F5
I know Saint Peter won't call my name ,
   C#5           D#5
never an honest word
              G#5               F5
But that was when I ruled the world

( C#5 F5 ) (3x)
( D#5 ) (2x)

( C#5  D#5  G#5  F5 ) (2x)
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

  C#5             D#5
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G#5            F5
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C#5               D#5
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   G#5                F5
My missionaries in a foreign field
C#5                D#5
For some reason I can't explain
  G#5                    F5
I know Saint Peter won't call my name ,
   C#5           D#5
never an honest word
              G#5               F5
But that was when I ruled the world

( C#5  D#5  G#5  F5 )
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
