i used to [F]rule.. the [G]world..
seas would [C]rise when i gave the [Am]word

Intro
[F] [G] [C] [Am]
[F] [G] [C] [Am]
i used to [F]roll.. the [G]dice..
feel the [C]fear in my enemy’s [Am]eyes..
listen as the [F]crowd.. would [G]sing..
now the [C]old king is dead [Am]long live the king
one minute i [F]held.. the [G]key..
next the [C]walls were closed on [Am]me
and i discovered that my [F]cas..tles s[G]tand..
upon [C]pillars of salt and [Am]pillars of sand..
Reff I :
i [F]hear jerusalem [G]bells are ringing
[C]roman cavalry [Am]choirs are singing
[F]be my mirror, my s[G]word, and shield
my [C]missionaries in a [Am]foreign field..
[F]for some reason i [G]can’t explain
o[C]nce you’d gone there was [Am]never
never an [F]ho..nest [G]word..
that was [C]when i ruled the [Am]world..
Interlude
[F] [G] [C] [Am]
[F] [G] [C] [Am]
it was the wicked and [F]wild.. [G]wind..
blew down the [C]doors to let me [Am]in
shattered windows and the [F]sound.. of [G]drums..
people [C]couldn’t believe what [Am]i’d become
revolutio[F]na..ries [G]wait..
for my [C]head on a silver [Am]plate
just a puppet on a [F]lo..nely s[G]tring..
oh, [C]who would ever want to be [Am]king..

but that was [C]when i ruled the [Am]world..
