          C          D
i used to rule.. the world..
           G                    Em
seas would rise when i gave the word
                     C        D
now in the morning i sleep.. alone..
           G                Em

i used to roll.. the dice..
         G                  Em
feel the fear in my enemy's eyes..
              C             D
listen as the crowd.. would sing..
        G                Em
now the old king is dead long live the king

             C          D
one minute i held.. the key..
         G                    Em
next the walls were closed on me
                         C          D
and i discovered that my cas..tles stand..
     G                   Em
upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand..
 
Chorus I
   C              D
 i hear jerusalem bells are ringing
 G             Em
 roman cavalry choirs are singing
 C                 D
 be my mirror, my sword, and shield
    G                 Em
 my missionaries in a foreign field..

 C                 D
 for some reason i can't explain
  G                        Em
 once you'd gone there was never
          C        D
 never an ho..nest word..

it was the wicked and wild.. wind..
              G               Em
blew down the doors to let me in
                          C          D
shattered windows and the sound.. of drums..
       G                     Em
people couldn't believe what i'd become

         C        D
revolutiona..ries wait..
       G                Em
for my head on a silver plate
                   C         D
just a puppet on a lo..nely string..
    G                         Em
oh, who would ever want to be king..
