Verse1
[D#]I used to [A#]rule the [Cb]world
Seas would [Db]rise when I gave the [D#]word
Now in the morning I [A#]sleep al[Cb]one
Sweep the [Db]streets I used to [D#]own

Interlude
[A#] [Cb] [Db] [D#]

Verse2
[D#]I used to[A#] roll the [Cb]dice
Feel the f[Db]ear in my enemy's [D#]eyes
Listen as the [A#]crowd would s[Cb]ing:
"Now the o[Db]ld king is dead! L[D#]ong live the king!"
On[D#]e minute I [A#]held the [Cb]key
Next the [Db]walls were closed on [D#]me
And I discovered that my c[A#]astles st[Cb]and
Upon [Db]pillars of salt and p[D#]illars of sand

Chorus

I [A#]hear Jerusalem [Cb]bells are ringing
[Db]Roman Cavalry [D#]choirs are singing
[A#]Be my mirror, my [Cb]sword, and shield
My [Db]missionaries in a [D#]foreign field
[A#]For some reason I [Cb]can't explain
[Db]Once you go there was [D#]never, never an [A#]honest [Cb]word
That was [A#m]when I ruled the [D#]world

Interlude
[A#] [Cb] [Db] [D#]

Verse3
[D#]It was the wicked and[A#] wild [Cb]wind
Blew down the [Db]doors to let me [D#]in.
Shattered windows and the [A#]sound of [Cb]drums
People [Db]couldn't believe what[D#] I'd become
[D#]Revolutio[A#]naries [Cb]wait
For my h[Db]ead on a silver [D#]plate
Just a puppet on a [A#]lonely [Cb]string
Oh [Db]who would ever want to be [D#]king?

Chorus
I [A#]hear Jerusalem [Cb]bells are ringing
[Db]Roman Cavalry [D#]choirs are singing
[A#]Be my mirror, my [Cb]sword, and shield
My [Db]missionaries in a [D#]foreign field
[A#]For some reason I [Cb]can't explain
I [Db]know Saint Peter won't[D#] call my name ,
nev[A#]er an honest [Cb]word
But that was w[A#m]hen I ruled the w[D#]orld

Interlude
[A#] [D#] [Cb]
[A#](Oh[Cb]hhh[Db]h O[D#]hhh Oh hh)

Chorus
I [A#]hear Jerusalem [Cb]bells are ringing
[Db]Roman Cavalry [D#]choirs are singing
[A#]Be my mirror, my [Cb]sword, and shield
My [Db]missionaries in a [D#]foreign field
[A#]For some reason I [Cb]can't explain
I [Db]know Saint Peter won't[D#] call my name ,
nev[A#]er an honest [Cb]word
But that was w[A#m]hen I ruled the wo[D#]rld
