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