I used to rule the world 
           Ab                   Fm  
Seas would rise when I gave the word
                     Db    Eb7  
Now in the morning I sleep alone
          Ab                Fm 
Sweep the streets I used to own

[Verse]
          Db       Ebsus4
I used to roll the dice  
         Ab                 Fm  
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
              Db          Ebsus4
Listen as the crowd would sing  
        Ab                    Fm           
Now the old king is dead long live the king
             Db       Ebsus4
One minute I held the key   
     Ab                       Fm
Next the walls were closed on me
                         Db      Ebsus4
And I discovered that my castles stand 
Ab                       Fm             
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand


[Chorus]
Db               Ebsus4        
I hear Jerusalem bells aringin'
Ab            Fm                
Roman Cavalry choirs are singin'
Db              Ebsus4          
Be my mirror my sword and shield
Ab                   Fm7          
My missionaries in a foreign field
Db                Ebsus4       
For some reason I can't explain
Ab                        Fm             Db     Eb7 
Once you'd gone there was never never an honest word
             Ab               Fm   
And that was when I ruled the world

It was a wicked and wild wind  


[Verse]
              Ab              Fm
Blew down the doors to let me in
                          Db       Ebsus4
Shattered windows and the sound of drums 
Ab                           Fm        
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Db              Ebsus4
Revolutionaries wait  
    Ab                  Fm   
For my head on a silver plate
                 Db       Ebsus4
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Abmaj7                       Fm7 
Oh who would ever want to be king


[Chorus]
Db               Ebsus4 Eb7     
I hear Jerusalem bells  aringin'
Ab            Fm                
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Db              Ebsus4          
Be my mirror my sword and shield
Ab                   F7           
My missionaries in a foreign field
Db                Ebsus4       
For some reason I can't explain
Ab                       Fm          
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Db              Eb7 
Never an honest word
             Ab               Fm   
But that was when I ruled the world
