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