STANDARD TUNING - CAPO 1


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 sweep 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?


 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 will call my name ,
  C      D
never an honest word
       Bm        Em
But that was when I ruled the world

C - Em x3
D x2


C - D - G - Em  x2
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)


 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 will call my name ,
  C      D
never an honest word
       Bm        Em
But that was when I ruled the world


C - D - Bm - Em       and fading...
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
