Intro: [C5] [D7sus4] [G] [Em] x2

I used to [C5] rule the [D7sus4] world
Seas would [G] rise when I gave the [Em] word
Now in the morning I [C5]  sleep [D7sus4] alone
Sweep the [G] streets I used to [Em] own

I used to [C5] roll the [D7sus4] dice
Feel the [G] fear in my enemy's [Em] eyes
Listened as the [C5] crowd would [D7sus4] sing
Now the [G] old king is dead long  [Em] live the king
One minute I [C5] held the [D7sus4] key
Next the [G] walls were closed on  [Em]  me
And I discovered that my [C5] castles [D7sus4] stand
Upon [G] pillars of salt and [Em] pillars of sand

I [C5] hear Jerusalem [D7sus4] bells a-ringing
[G] Roman cavalry [Em] choirs are singing
[C5] Be my mirror, my [D7sus4] sword and shield
[G] Missionaries in a [Em] foreign field
[C5] For some reason I [D7sus4] can't explain
[G] Once you'd gone there was [Em] never
Never an  [C5] honest [D7sus4] word
And that was [G] when I ruled the [Em] world

[C5] [D7sus4] [G] [Em] x2

It was a wicked and [C5] wild [D7sus4] wind
Blew down the [G] doors to let me [Em]  in
Shattered windows and the [C5] sound of [D7sus4] drums
People couldn't [G] believe what I'd be [Em] come
Revolution [C5] aries [D7sus4] wait
For my [G] head on a silver [Em] plate
Just a puppet on a [C5] lonely [D7sus4] string
Oh [G] who would ever [Em] want to be king?

I [C5] hear Jerusalem [D7sus4] bells a-ringing
[G] Roman cavalry [Em] choirs are singing
[C5] Be my mirror, my [D7sus4] sword and shield
My [G] missionaries in a [Em] foreign field
[C5] For some reason I [D7sus4] can't explain
I [G]  know St Peter won't [Em] call my name
Never an [C5] honest [D7sus4] word
But that was [G] when I ruled the  [Em]  world

I [C5] hear Jerusalem [D7sus4] bells a-ringing
[G] Roman cavalry [Em] choirs are singing
[C5] Be my mirror, my [D7sus4] sword and shield
My [G] missionaries in a [Em] foreign field
[C5] For some reason I [D7sus4] can't explain
I [G]  know St Peter won't [Em] call my name
Never an [C5] honest [D7sus4] word
But that was [G] when I ruled the  [Em]  world
