[Intro]EF#9(11)BG#mEF#9(11)BG#m[Primeira Parte]EF#9(11)
I used to rule the world
BG#m
Seas would rise when I gave the word
EF#9(11)
Now in the morning and I sleep alone
BG#m
Sweep the streets I used to own
( EF#9(11)BG#m )
( EF#9(11)BG#m )
EF#9(11)
I used to roll the dice
BG#m
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
EF#9(11)
Listen as the crowd would sing
B
Now the old king is dead!
G#m
Long live the king!
[Pré-Refrão 1]EF#9(11)
One minute I held the key
BG#m
Next the walls were closed on me
EF#9(11)
And I discovered that my castles stand
BG#m
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[Refrão 1]EF#9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
BG#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
EF#9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
BG#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
EF#9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
B/D#G#m
Once you go there was never
EF#9(11)
Never an honest word
BG#m
That was when I ruled the world
( EF#9(11)BG#m )
( EF#9(11)BG#m )
[Segunda Parte]EF#9(11)
It was the wicked and wild wind
BG#m
Blew down the doors to let me in
EF#9(11)
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
BG#m
People couldn't believe what I'd become
[Pré-Refrão 2]EF#9(11)
Revolutionaries wait
BG#m
For my head on a silver plate
EF#9(11)
Just a puppet on a lonely string
BG#m
Oh who would ever want to be king?
[Refrão 2]EF#9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
BG#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
EF#9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
BG#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
EF#9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
B/D#G#m
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
EF#9(11)
Never an honest word
BG#m
But that was when I ruled the world
