	  		INTRO: C# - Eb - G# - Fm  (x2)    

(Fm)      C#        D#    
I used to rule the world    
           G#                    Fm    
Seas would rise when I gave the word    
                     C#       D#    
Now in the morning I sweep alone    
          G#                 Fm    
Sweep the streets I used to own    

C# - D# - G# Fm    (x2)    

(Fm)      C#         D#    
I used to roll the dice    
          G#                 Fm    
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes    
              C#            D#    
Listen as the crowd would sing:    
          G#                 Fm    
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"    

(Fm)         C#        D#    
One minute I held the key    
         G#                    Fm    
Next the walls were closed on me    
                          C#        D#    
And I discovered that my castles stand    
     G#                    Fm    
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand     

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

C# - D# - G# - Fm    x2    

                      C#     D#    
It was the wicked and wild wind    
              G#               Fm    
Blew down the doors to let me in.    
                          C#        D#    
Shattered windows and the sound of drums    
       G#                    Fm    
People couldn't believe what I'd become    

         C#      D#    
Revolutionaries wait    
        G#               Fm    
For my head on a silver plate    
                   C#      D#    
Just a puppet on a lonely string    
   G#                         Fm    
Oh who would ever want to be king?     

  C#              D#    
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing    
G#             Fm    
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing    
C#                D#    
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield    
   G#                 Fm    
My missionaries in a foreign field    
C#                 D#    
For some reason I can't explain    
  G#                     Fm    
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,    
   C#            D#    
never an honest word    
              G#                Fm    
But that was when I ruled the world      

C# - Fm x3    
D# x2    

C# - D# - G# - Fm    x2    
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)    

  C#              D#    
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing    
G#             Fm    
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing    
C#                D#    
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield    
   G#                 Fm    
My missionaries in a foreign field    
C#                 D#    
For some reason I can't explain    
  G#                     Fm    
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,    
   C#            D#    
never an honest word    
              G#                Fm    
But that was when I ruled the world      

C# - D# - G# - Fm              and fading...    
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
