Capo 1

* Intro: C D G Em

I used to Crule the Dworld
Seas would Grise when I gave the Emword
Now in the morning I Csleep aDlone
Sweep the Gstreets I used to Emown
C D G Em

I used to Croll the Ddice
Feel the Gfear in my enemy's Emeyes
Listen as the Ccrowd would Dsing:
G"Now the old king is Emdead! Long live the king!"One minutGe I held the key C D
Next the Gwalls were closed on Emme
And I discovered that my Ccastles Dstand
Upon Gpillars of salt and pillEmars of sand

I Chear Jerusalem Dbells are ringing
GRoman Cavalry Emchoirs are singing
CBe my mirror, my Dsword, and shield
My Gmissionaries in a Emforeign field
CFor some reason I Dcan't explain
GOnce you go there was Emnever, never an Chonest Dword
That was Bmwhen I ruled the Emworld
C D G Em

It was the wicked and Cwild Dwind
Blew down the Gdoors to let me Emin.
Shattered windows and the Csound of Ddrums
People Gcouldn't believe what EmI'd become
RevolutioCnaries Dwait
For my Ghead on a silver Emplate
Just a puppet on a Clonely Dstring
Oh Gwho would ever want to be Emking?

I Chear Jerusalem Dbells are ringing
GRoman Cavalry Emchoirs are singing
CBe my mirror, my Dsword, and shield
My Gmissionaries in a Emforeign field
CFor some reason I Dcan't explain
I Gknow Saint Peter won't Emcall my name,
never an Chonest Dword
But that was Bmwhen I ruled the Emworld
OhChhhhDh OhGhhhhEmhh
OhChhhhDh OhGhhhhEmhh

I Chear Jerusalem Dbells are ringing
GRoman Cavalry Emchoirs are singing
CBe my mirror, my Dsword, and shield
My Gmissionaries in a Emforeign field
CFor some reason I Dcan't explain
I Gknow Saint Peter won't Emcall my name,
never an Chonest Dword
But that was Bmwhen I ruled the Emworld
