[Primeira Parte]
C D9(11)
I used to rule the world

Seas would rise when I gave the word
C D9(11)
Now in the morning and I sleep alone

Sweep the streets I used to own
G
( C Em )
D9(11) G
( C Em )
D9(11) C D9(11)
I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
C D9(11)
Listen as the crowd would sing

Now the old king is dead!
Em
Long live the king!
[Pré-Refrão 1]
C D9(11)
One minute I held the key
G Em
Next the walls were closed on me
C D9(11)
And I discovered that my castles stand
G Em
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[Refrão 1]
C D9(11)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C D9(11)
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G Em
My missionaries in a foreign field
C D9(11)
For some reason I can't explain
[Próxima Parte]

Once you go there was never

Never an honest word

That was when I ruled the world

[Segunda Parte]
C D9(11)
It was the wicked and wild wind
G Em
Blew down the doors to let me in
C D9(11)
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
G Em
People couldn't believe what I'd become
[Pré-Refrão 2]
C D9(11)
Revolutionaries wait
G Em
For my head on a silver plate
C D9(11)
Just a puppet on a lonely string
G Em
Oh who would ever want to be king?
[Refrão 2]
[Próxima Parte]

But that was when I ruled the world
