[Primera Parte]

           C#       D#9(11)
I used to rule the world
            G#                   Fm
Seas would rise when I gave the word
                           C#
Now in the morning and I sleep
D#9(11)
Alone
             G#             Fm
Sweep the streets I used to own

( C#  D#9(11)  G#  Fm )
( C#  D#9(11)  G#  Fm )

           C#       D#9(11)
I used to roll the dice
          G#                Fm
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
                C#         D#9(11)
Listen as the crowd would sing
        G#
Now the old king is dead!
 Fm
Long live the king!

              C#       D#9(11)
One minute I held the key
          G#                   Fm
Next the walls were closed on me
                          C#
And I discovered that my castles
   D#9(11)
Stand
      G#                  Fm
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of

Sand

[Estribillo 1]

   C#             D#9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Remover anúncios
 G#             Fm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
 C#                D#9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
    G#                Fm
My missionaries in a foreign field
 C#                D#9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
G#/C                   Fm
Once you go there was never
          C#     D#9(11)
Never an honest word
           G#              Fm
That was when I ruled the world

                       C#   D#9(11)
It was the wicked and wild wind
               G#             Fm
Blew down the doors to let me in
                           C#
Shattered windows and the sound of
   D#9(11)
Drums
        G#                   Fm
People couldn't believe what I'd

Become

[Pré-Refrão 2]

          C#     D#9(11)
Revolutionaries wait
        G#                Fm
For my head on a silver plate
                    C#       D#9(11)
Just a puppet on a lonely string
     G#                       Fm
Oh who would ever want to be king?

For some reason I can't explain
    G#/C                  Fm
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
          C#     D#9(11)
Never an honest word
                  G#           Fm
But that was when I ruled the world
