Intro: C - D - G - Em    x2

(Em)      C        D

I used to rule the world 

           G                    Em

Seas would rise when I gave the word 

                     C       D

Now in the morning I sleep alone 

          G                 Em

Sweep the streets I used to own

C - D - G - Em    x2

(Em)      C         D

I used to roll the dice 

          G                 Em

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes 

              C            D

Listen as the crowd would sing: 

          G                 Em

"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

(Em)         C        D

One minute I held the key 

         G                    Em

Next the walls were closed on me 

                          C        D

And I discovered that my castles stand 

     G                    Em

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand 

  C              D

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 

G             Em

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 

C                D

Be my mirror, my sword, and shield 

   G                 Em

My missionaries in a foreign field 

C                 D

For some reason I can't explain 

G                     Em              C      D

Once you go there was never, never an honest word

         Bm               Em 

That was when I ruled the world 

C - D - G - Em    x2

(Em)                  C     D

It was the wicked and wild wind 

              G               Em

Blew down the doors to let me in. 

                          C        D

Shattered windows and the sound of drums 

       G                    Em

People couldn't believe what I'd become

(Em)     C      D

Revolutionaries wait 

        G               Em

For my head on a silver plate 

                   C      D

Just a puppet on a lonely string

   G                         Em

Oh who would ever want to be king?
