Intro:
D E A barre F#m
Verse/Chorus:
F#m D E A "That´s (C#m) when I ruled the world...
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
F#m D E
I used to roll the dice
A F#m
Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
D E
Listen as the crowd would sing:
A F#m
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
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
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 not explain
A F#m D E
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
A F#m
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)
El resto de la canción es igual:
___________________________________________
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People could not believe what I´d become
Revolutionaries Wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter won´t call my name
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringings
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
