[Intro]CD9(11)GEmCD9(11)GEm[Primeira Parte]CD9(11)
I used to rule the world
GEm
Seas would rise when I gave the word
CD9(11)
Now in the morning and I sleep alone
GEm
Sweep the streets I used to own
( CD9(11)GEm )
( CD9(11)GEm )
CD9(11)
I used to roll the dice
GEm
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
CD9(11)
Listen as the crowd would sing
G
Now the old king is dead!
Em
Long live the king!
[Pré-Refrão 1]CD9(11)
One minute I held the key
GEm
Next the walls were closed on me
CD9(11)
And I discovered that my castles stand
GEm
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[Refrão 1]CD9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
GEm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
CD9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
GEm
My missionaries in a foreign field
CD9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
G/BEm
Once you go there was never
CD9(11)
Never an honest word
GEm
That was when I ruled the world
( CD9(11)GEm )
( CD9(11)GEm )
[Segunda Parte]CD9(11)
It was the wicked and wild wind
GEm
Blew down the doors to let me in
CD9(11)
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
GEm
People couldn't believe what I'd become
[Pré-Refrão 2]CD9(11)
Revolutionaries wait
GEm
For my head on a silver plate
CD9(11)
Just a puppet on a lonely string
GEm
Oh who would ever want to be king?
[Refrão 2]CD9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
GEm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
CD9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
GEm
My missionaries in a foreign field
CD9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
G/BEm
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
CD9(11)
Never an honest word
GEm
But that was when I ruled the world
