Verse
CI used to Drule the world
GSeas would Emrise when I gave the word
CNow in the morning I Dsleep alone
GSweep the Emstreets I used to own
Verse
CI used to Droll the dice
GFeel the Emfear in my enemy's eyes
CListen as the Dcrowd would sing:
G"Now the Emold king is dead! Long live the king!"
COne minute I Dheld the key
GNext the Emwalls were closed on me
CAnd I discovered that my Dcastles stand
GUpon Empillars of salt and pillars of sand
Chorus
CI Dhear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G EmRoman Cavalry choirs are singing
C DBe my mirror, my sword and shield
GMy Emmissionaries in a foreign field
C DFor some reason I can't explain
G EmOnce you'd gone there was never
CNever an Dhonest word
BmAnd that was Emwhen I ruled the world
Verse
CIt was the wicked and Dwild wind
GBlew down the Emdoors to let me in
CShattered windows and the Dsound of drums
GPeople Emcouldn't believe what I'd become

CJust a puppet on a Dlonely string
GOh, Emwho would ever want to be king?
