Intro:
Csus2  Dsus4 G G6/E x2

Verse 1:
     C     Dsus4
I used to rule the world
      G           Em
Seas would rise when I gave the word
           C    Dsus4
Now in the morning I sleep alone
     G         Em
Sweep the streets I used to own

Interlude:
C D G Emadd9 x2

Verse 2:
      C    Dsus4 D
I used to roll the dice
     G         Em Emadd9
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
        C      Dsus4 D
Listen as the crowd would sing:
     G           Em    Emadd9
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
       C     Dsus4 D
One minute I held the key
     G          Em Emadd9
Next the walls were closed on me
             C     Dsus4 D
And I discovered that my castles stand
   G           Em    Emadd9
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

Chorus:
 Cadd9      Dsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
 G      Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9        Dsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
  G         Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Cadd9       Dsus4
For some reason I can't explain
G           Em7      C/E   D
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
     Bm        G6/E
That was when I ruled the world

Interlude:
C Dsus4 D G Em Emadd9 x2

Verse 3:
           C   Dsus4 D
It was the wicked and wild wind
       G        Em Emadd9
Blew down the doors to let me in.

             C     Dsus4 D
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
    G           Em    Emadd9
People couldn't believe what I'd become
     C   Dsus4 D
Revolutionaries wait
    G        Em  Emadd9
For my head on a silver plate
          C    Dsus4 D
Just a puppet on a lonely string
  G             Em
Oh who would ever want to be king?

Chorus:
 Cadd9      Dsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
 G      Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9       Dsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
  G         Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Cadd9       Dsus4
For some reason I can't explain
 G           Em7
I know Saint Peter will call my name,
    C/E    D
never an honest word
       Bm        G6/E
But that was when I ruled the world

Interlude:
Cadd9 Em7 x3
Dsus4 D x2
  C   Dsus4 D G Em Emadd9 C   Dsus4 D G Em Emadd9
Ooo-oo---h,  Ooo-oo-h;  Ooo-oo---h,  Ooo-ooh

Chorus:
 Cadd9      Dsus4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
 G      Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Cadd9       Dsus4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
  G         Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
Cadd9       Dsus4
For some reason I can't explain
 G           Em7
I know Saint Peter will call my name,


Outro:
   C/E    D
never an honest word
       Bm        G6/E
But that was when I ruled the world

C/E D G G6/E C/E D G G6/E C/E D G
