[Intro]DE9(11)AF#mDE9(11)AF#m[Primeira Parte]DE9(11)
I used to rule the world
AF#m
Seas would rise when I gave the word
DE9(11)
Now in the morning and I sleep alone
AF#m
Sweep the streets I used to own
( DE9(11)AF#m )
( DE9(11)AF#m )
DE9(11)
I used to roll the dice
AF#m
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
DE9(11)
Listen as the crowd would sing
A
Now the old king is dead!
F#m
Long live the king!
[Pré-Refrão 1]DE9(11)
One minute I held the key
AF#m
Next the walls were closed on me
DE9(11)
And I discovered that my castles stand
AF#m
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[Refrão 1]DE9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
AF#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
DE9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
AF#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
DE9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
A/C#F#m
Once you go there was never
DE9(11)
Never an honest word
AF#m
That was when I ruled the world
( DE9(11)AF#m )
( DE9(11)AF#m )
[Segunda Parte]DE9(11)
It was the wicked and wild wind
AF#m
Blew down the doors to let me in
DE9(11)
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
AF#m
People couldn't believe what I'd become
[Pré-Refrão 2]DE9(11)
Revolutionaries wait
AF#m
For my head on a silver plate
DE9(11)
Just a puppet on a lonely string
AF#m
Oh who would ever want to be king?
[Refrão 2]DE9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
AF#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
DE9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
AF#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
DE9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
A/C#F#m
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
DE9(11)
Never an honest word
AF#m
But that was when I ruled the world
