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