Introdução:
C9 D4
I used to rule the world
G Em7
Seas would rise when I gave the word
C9 D4
Now in the morning I sleep alone
G Em7
Sweep the streets I used to own
C9 D4
I used to roll the dice
G Em7
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
G Em7
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
C9 D4
One minute I held the key
G Em7
Next the walls were closed on me
C9 D4
And I discovered that my castles stand
G Em7
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
C9 D4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C9 D4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
C9 D4
For some reason I can't explain
G Em7 C9 D4
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
G Em7
That was when I ruled the world
C9 D4
It was the wicked and wild wind
G Em7
Blew down the doors to let me in
C9 D4
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
G Em7
People couldn't believe what I'd become
C9 D4
Revolutionaries wait
G Em7
For my head on a silver plate
C9 D4
Just a puppet on a lonely string
G Em7
Oh who would ever want to be king?
C9 D4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C9 D4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
C9 D4
For some reason I can't explain
G Em7
I know Saint Peter will call my name
C9 D4
Never an honest word
G Em7
But that was when I ruled the world
C9 D4 G Em7)
Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh
C9 D4
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em7
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C9 D4
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G Em7
My missionaries in a foreign field
C9 D4
For some reason I can't explain
G Em7
I know Saint Peter will call my name
C9 D4
Never an honest word
G Em7
But that was when I ruled the world
