Capo on 1st fret Key G
[Intro]
[C] [D] [G] [Em] [x2]
[Verse1]
[Em]I used to [C]rule the [D]world
Seas would [G]rise when I gave the [Em]word
Now in the morning I [C]sleep [D]alone
Sweep the [G]streets I used to [Em]own
[Interlude]
[C] [D] [G] [Em] [x2]
[Verse2]
[Em]I used [C]to roll the [D]dice
Feel the [G]fear in my enemy's [Em]eyes
Listen as the [C]crowd would [D]sing:
"Now the [G]old king is dead! [Em]Long live the king!"
[Em]One minute I [C]held the [D]key
Next the [G]walls were closed on [Em]me
And I discovered that my [C]castles [D]stand
Upon [G]pillars of salt and [Em]pillars of sand
[Chorus]
I [C]hear Jerusalem [D]bells are ringing
[G]Roman Cavalry [Em]choirs are singing
[C]Be my mirror, my [D]sword, and shield
My [G]missionaries in a [Em]foreign field
[C]For some reason I [D]can't explain
[G]Once you go there was [Em]never, never an [C]honest [D]word
That was [Bm]when I ruled the [Em]world
[Interlude]
[C] [D] [G] [Em] [x2]
[Verse3]
[Em]It was the wicked [C]and wild [D]wind
Blew down the [G]doors to let me [Em]in.
Shattered windows and the [C]sound of [D]drums
People [G]couldn't believe [Em]what I'd become
[Em][C]Revolutionaries [D]wait
For my [G]head on a silver [Em]plate
Just a puppet on a [C]lonely [D]string
Oh [G]who would ever want to be [Em]king?
[Chorus]
I [C]hear Jerusalem [D]bells are ringing
[G]Roman Cavalry [Em]choirs are singing
[C]Be my mirror, my [D]sword, and shield
My [G]missionaries in a [Em]foreign field
[C]For some reason I [D]can't explain
I [G]know Saint Peter [Em]won't call my name ,
[C]never an honest [D]word
But that was [Bm]when I ruled the [Em]world
[Interlude]
[C] [Em] [x3] [D] [x2]
[C](Oh[D]hhh[G]h O[Em]hhh Oh[x2]hh)
[Chorus]
I [C]hear Jerusalem [D]bells are ringing
[G]Roman Cavalry [Em]choirs are singing
[C]Be my mirror, my [D]sword, and shield
My [G]missionaries in a [Em]foreign field
[C]For some reason I [D]can't explain
I [G]know Saint Peter [Em]won't call my name ,
[C]never an honest [D]word
But that was [Bm]when I ruled the [Em]world
[Outro]
