I used to rule the world
AbFm
Seas would rise when I gave the word
DbEb
Now in the morning I sleep alone
AbFm
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
AbFm
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
DbEb
Listen as the crowd would sing
AbFm
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king"
DbEb
One minute I held the key
AbFm
Next the walls were closed on me
DbEb
And I discovered that my castles stand
AbFm
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
ย
DbEb
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
AbFm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
DbEb
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
AbFm
My missionaries in a foreign field
DbEb
For some reason I can't explain
CmFmDbEb
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
AbFm
That was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
AbFm
Blew down the doors to let me in
DbEb
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
AbFm
People couldn't believe what I'd become
DbEb
Revolutionaries wait
AbFm
For my head on a silver plate
DbEb
Just a puppet on a lonely string
AbFm
Oh who would ever want to be king
