Verse: 
           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 
 
Instrumental: D  E  A  F#m }x2   
 
Verse: 
           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!" 
              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  
  A                     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  
 
Instrumental: D  E  A  F#m }x2   
 
Verse: 
                      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 
         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?

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
