[Intro]
D  E  A  F#m  x2
 
[Verse 1]
(F#m)      D        E
I used to rule the world
           A                    F#m
Seas would rise when I gave the word
                     D       E
Now in the morning I sleep alone
          A                 F#m
Sweep the streets I used to own
 
[Interlude]
D  E  A  F#m  x2
 
[Verse 2]
(F#m)      D         E
I used to roll the dice
          A                 F#m
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
              D            E
Listen as the crowd would sing:
          A                     F#m
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
 
[Verse 3]
(F#m)         D        E
One minute I held the key
         A                    F#m
Next the walls were closed on me
                          D        E
And I discovered that my castles stand
     A                    F#m
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
 
[Chorus]
  D              E
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
A             F#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
D                E
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   A                 F#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
D                 E
For some reason I can't explain
C#m                   F#m             D      E
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
         C#m              F#m
That was when I ruled the world
 
[Interlude]
D  E  A  F#m  x2
 
[Verse 4]
(F#m)                 D    E
It was the wicked and wild wind
              A               F#m
Blew down the doors to let me in
                          D        E
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
       A                     F#m
People couldn't believe what I'd become
 
[Verse 5]
(F#m)    D      E
Revolutionaries wait
        A               F#m
For my head on a silver plate
                   D      E
Just a puppet on a lonely string
    A                         F#m
Oh, who would ever want to be king?
 
[Chorus]
  D              E
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
A             F#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
D                E
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   A                 F#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
D                 E
For some reason I can't explain
  C#m                   F#m
I know Saint Peter will call my name,
   D            E
never an honest word
             C#m              F#m
But that was when I ruled the world
 
[Instrumental]
D  F#m  x3
E  E
 
[Break]
  D    E    A    F#m
Ooooooooh Ooooooooh
  D    E    A    F#m
Ooooooooh Ooooooooh
 
[Chorus]
  D              E
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
A             F#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
D                E
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   A                 F#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
D                 E
For some reason I can't explain
  A                     F#m
I know Saint Peter will call my name,
   D            E
never an honest word
             C#m              F#m
But that was when I ruled the world
