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