[Intro]C#D#9(11)G#FmC#D#9(11)G#Fm[Primeira Parte]C#D#9(11)
I used to rule the world
G#Fm
Seas would rise when I gave the word
C#D#9(11)
Now in the morning and I sleep alone
G#Fm
Sweep the streets I used to own
( C#D#9(11)G#Fm )
( C#D#9(11)G#Fm )
C#D#9(11)
I used to roll the dice
G#Fm
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
C#D#9(11)
Listen as the crowd would sing
G#
Now the old king is dead!
Fm
Long live the king!
[Pré-Refrão 1]C#D#9(11)
One minute I held the key
G#Fm
Next the walls were closed on me
C#D#9(11)
And I discovered that my castles stand
G#Fm
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[Refrão 1]C#D#9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G#Fm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C#D#9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G#Fm
My missionaries in a foreign field
C#D#9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
G#/CFm
Once you go there was never
C#D#9(11)
Never an honest word
G#Fm
That was when I ruled the world
( C#D#9(11)G#Fm )

[Segunda Parte]C#D#9(11)
It was the wicked and wild wind
G#Fm
Blew down the doors to let me in
C#D#9(11)
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
G#Fm
People couldn't believe what I'd become
[Pré-Refrão 2]C#D#9(11)
Revolutionaries wait
G#Fm
For my head on a silver plate
C#D#9(11)
Just a puppet on a lonely string
G#Fm
Oh who would ever want to be king?
[Refrão 2]C#D#9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G#Fm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C#D#9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G#Fm
My missionaries in a foreign field
C#D#9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
G#/CFm
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
C#D#9(11)
Never an honest word
G#Fm
But that was when I ruled the world
