Tom:C#Intro: (C#D#G#Fm) 2x
C#D#
I used to rule the world
G#Fm
Seas would rise when I gave the word
C#D#
Now in the morning I sweep alone
G#Fm
Sweep the streets I used to own
(C#D#G#Fm) 2x
C#D#
I used to roll the dice
G#Fm
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
C#D#
Listen as the crowd would sing:
G#Fm
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
C#D#
One minute I held the key
G#Fm
Next the walls were closed on me
C#D#
And I discovered that my castles stand
G#Fm
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Refrão:C#D#
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G#Fm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C#D#
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G#Fm
My missionaries in a foreign field
C#D#
For some reason I can't explain
G#FmC#D#
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
G#Fm
That was when I ruled the world
(C#D#G#Fm) 2x
C#D#
It was the wicked and wild wind
G#Fm
Blew down the doors to let me in.
C#D#
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
G#Fm
People couldn't believe what I'd become
C#D#
Revolutionaries wait
G#Fm
For my head on a silver plate
C#D#
Just a puppet on a lonely string
G#Fm
Oh who would ever want to be king?
Refrão:C#D#
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G#Fm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C#D#
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G#Fm
My missionaries in a foreign field
C#D#
For some reason I can't explain
G#Fm
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
C#D#
never an honest word
G#Fm
But that was when I ruled the world
(C#Fm) 3x
(D#) 2x
(C#D#G#Fm) 2x
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
