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

(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

(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#   
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

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
