I used to rule the world

C Bb C C Bb D F G
Seas would rise when I gave the word

D D D DD D D EbC
Now in the morning I sleep alone

C Bb C C C D BbAG
Sweep the streets I used to own

D D D D Eb C
I used to roll the dice

C Bb C C Bb CC D Bb A G
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

DD D D D Eb C
Listen as the crowd would sing,

Bb Bb D C Bb Bb D C Bb Bb
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key

F F F Bb F Eb D
Next the walls were closed on me

D D DD D D D DEb C
And I discovered that my castles stand

BbBb DC BbBb D DC Bb Bb
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

Bb G GGFG F C DEb
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

FF FDF D G ABb
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

G G GF G F C DEb
Be my mirror, my sword and shield

F F F F F D F D G ABb
My missionaries in a foreign field

G G GF G A AA
For some reason I can't explain

F F F F Eb Eb D

DD D DEb C
Never an honest word

Bb C Bb A A D A Bb
And that was when I ruled the world

D D D D D D DEb C
It was the wicked and wild wind

C C Bb C Bb D F G
Blew down the doors to let me in

DD DD D D D Eb C
Shattered windows and the sound of drums

BbBb DC BbBb Bb D CBb
People couldn't believe what I'd become

G G G G G D F
Revolutionaries wait

F F F F F FEb D
For my head on a silver plate

D D DD D D DEb C
Just a puppet on a lonely string

Bb D C BbG Bb Bb Bb
