[Primeira 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!
[Pré-Refrão 1]
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
[Refrão 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) G# Fm )
( C# D#9(11) G# Fm )
[Segunda Parte]
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?
[Refrão 2]
C# D#9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
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
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
