[Intro]
C D G Em x2

[Verse 1]
C D
I used to rule the world
G Em
Seas would rise when I gave the word
C D
Now in the morning I sleep alone
G Em
Sweep the streets I used to own

[Interlude]
C D G Em x2

[Verse 2]
C D
I used to roll the dice
G Em
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
C D
Listen as the crowd would sing:
G Em
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
C D
One minute I held the key
G Em
Next the walls were closed on me
C D
And I discovered that my castles stand
G Em
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

[Chorus]
C D
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C D
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G Em
My missionaries in a foreign field
C D
For some reason I can't explain
G Em C D
Once you'd gone there was never, never an honest word
Bm Em
That was when I ruled the world

[Interlude]
C D G Em x2
