FGCAm
I used to rule the world, seas would rise when I gave the word
FGCAm
Now in the morning I sleep alone, sweep the streets I used to own

2.
FGCAm
I used to roll the dice, feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
FGCAm
Listen as the crowd would sing: “Now the old king is dead, long live the king”
FGCAm
One minute I held the key, next the walls were closed on me
FGCAm
And I discovered that my castles stand upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Ref.1
FGCAm
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing, Roman cavalry choirs are singing
FGCAm
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield, my missionaries in a foreign field
FGCAm
For some reason, I can’t explain, once you go, there was never
FGEmAm
Never an honest word, that was when I ruled the world

3.
FGCAm
It was the wicked and wild wind, blew down the doors to let me in
FGCAm
Shattered windows ‘n a sound of drums, people couldn’t believe what I’d become
FGCAm
Revolutionaries wait for my head on a silver plate
FGCAm
Just a puppet on a lonely string, oh, who would ever wanna be king?
Ref.2
FGCAm
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing, Roman cavalry choirs are singing
FGCAm
Be my mirror, my sword and shield, my missionaries in a foreign field
FGCAm
For some reason, I can’t explain, I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
FGEmAm
Never an honest word, that was when I ruled the world
