[Intro]
C D G Em
C D G Em
[Verse] 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
[Interlude] C D G Em C D G Em
[Verse] 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!" 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
[chorus] 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 once you'd gone there was never, C D never an honest word Bm Em that was when I ruled the world
[Interlude] C D G Em C D G Em
[Verse] 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 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?
[chorus] 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 I know Saint Peter won't call my name C D never an honest word Bm Em but that was when I ruled the world
[Interlude] C Em C Em C Em D D
C D G Em ooh... ooh... C D G Em ooh... ooh...
[chorus] 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 I know Saint Peter won't call my name C D never an honest word Bm Em but that was when I ruled the world
