[Intro]D#F9(11)A#GmD#F9(11)A#Gm[Primeira Parte]D#F9(11)
I used to rule the world
A#Gm
Seas would rise when I gave the word
D#F9(11)
Now in the morning and I sleep alone
A#Gm
Sweep the streets I used to own
( D#F9(11)A#Gm )
( D#F9(11)A#Gm )
D#F9(11)
I used to roll the dice
A#Gm
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
D#F9(11)
Listen as the crowd would sing
A#
Now the old king is dead!
Gm
Long live the king!
[Pré-Refrão 1]D#F9(11)
One minute I held the key
A#Gm
Next the walls were closed on me
D#F9(11)
And I discovered that my castles stand
A#Gm
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[Refrão 1]D#F9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
A#Gm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
D#F9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
A#Gm
My missionaries in a foreign field
D#F9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
A#/DGm
Once you go there was never
D#F9(11)
Never an honest word
A#Gm
That was when I ruled the world
( D#F9(11)A#Gm )
( D#F9(11)A#Gm )
[Segunda Parte]D#F9(11)
It was the wicked and wild wind
A#Gm
Blew down the doors to let me in
D#F9(11)
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
A#Gm
People couldn't believe what I'd become
[Pré-Refrão 2]D#F9(11)
Revolutionaries wait
A#Gm
For my head on a silver plate
D#F9(11)
Just a puppet on a lonely string
A#Gm
Oh who would ever want to be king?
[Refrão 2]D#F9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
A#Gm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
D#F9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
A#Gm
My missionaries in a foreign field
D#F9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
A#/DGm
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
D#F9(11)
Never an honest word
A#Gm
But that was when I ruled the world
