            [Intro]

C D G Em
C D G Em


[Verse]

           C         D
I used to rule the world
            G                    Em
Seas would rise when I gave the word
                      C       D
Now in the morning I sleep alone
            G               Em
Sweep the streets I used to own


[Instrumental]

C D G Em
C D G Em


[Verse]

           C        D
I used to roll the dice
          G                  Em
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
                C          D
Listen as the crowd would sing
          G                 Em
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
               C       D
One minute I held the key
           G                  Em
Next the walls were closed on me
                           C       D
And I discovered that my castles stand
        G                  Em
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand


[Chorus]

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


[Instrumental]

C D G Em
C D G Em


[Verse]

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


[Chorus]

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

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

[Chorus]

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