LYRICS
I used to (F)rule
the world.
Seas would (C)rise when I gave the (Am)word.
Now in the morn ing I (F)sleep
a lone,
sweep the (C)streets I used to own.
I used to (F)roll
the dice,
feel the (C)fear in my en e mies’ eyes.
shat Lis ten as the (F)crowd
would sing,
“Now the (C)old king is dead, long (Am)live the king.” One min ute I (F)held
the key,
next the (C)walls were closed on (Am)me.
And I dis cov ered that my (F)cas
tles stand
up on (C)pil lars of salt and pil lars (Am)of sand.
I (F)hear Je ru sa lem bells a ring ing, (C)Ro man Cath o lic (Am)choirs are sing ing.
(F)Be my mir ror, my sword
and shield, my (C)mis sion ar ies in a for eign field.
(F)For some rea son I (G)can’t ex plain,
(C)once you’d gone there was (Am)nev er, nev er an (F)hon
est word,
and that was (C)when I ruled the world.
It was the wick ed and (G)can’t ex plain, I (C)know Saint Pet er won’t call my name.
Nev er an (F)hon
est word,
but that was (C)when I ruled the world.
Oh,
oh,
oh,
oh,
I (F)hear Je ru sa lem bells a ring ing, (C)Ro man Cath o lic (Am)choirs are sing ing.
(F)Be my mir ror, my sword
and shield, my (C)mis sion ar ies in a for eign field.
(F)For some rea son I (G)can’t ex plain, I (C)know Saint Pet er won’t call my name.
Nev er an (F)hon
est word,
but that was (C)when I ruled the world.
(Fma7)Oo.
