[Intro]A#C9(11)FDmA#C9(11)FDm[Primeira Parte]A#C9(11)
I used to rule the world
FDm
Seas would rise when I gave the word
A#C9(11)
Now in the morning and I sleep alone
FDm
Sweep the streets I used to own
( A#C9(11)FDm )
( A#C9(11)FDm )
A#C9(11)
I used to roll the dice
FDm
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
A#C9(11)
Listen as the crowd would sing
F
Now the old king is dead!
Dm
Long live the king!
[Pré-Refrão 1]A#C9(11)
One minute I held the key
FDm
Next the walls were closed on me
A#C9(11)
And I discovered that my castles stand
FDm
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[Refrão 1]A#C9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
FDm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
A#C9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
FDm
My missionaries in a foreign field
A#C9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
F/ADm
Once you go there was never
A#C9(11)
Never an honest word
FDm
That was when I ruled the world
( A#C9(11)FDm )
( A#C9(11)FDm )
[Segunda Parte]A#C9(11)
It was the wicked and wild wind
FDm
Blew down the doors to let me in
A#C9(11)
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
FDm
People couldn't believe what I'd become
[Pré-Refrão 2]A#C9(11)
Revolutionaries wait
FDm
For my head on a silver plate
A#C9(11)
Just a puppet on a lonely string
FDm
Oh who would ever want to be king?
[Refrão 2]A#C9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
FDm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
A#C9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
FDm
My missionaries in a foreign field
A#C9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
F/ADm
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
A#C9(11)
Never an honest word
FDm
But that was when I ruled the world
