Strum : Down Down Up Up Down
Chords : C , D , G , Em
Capo 1
[verse 1]
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
Sweep the streets that I used to own
[Verse 2]
C D
I used to roll the dice
G Em
Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
C D
Listen how the crowd would sing
G Em
Now The Old King Is Dead , Long Live The King
[Bridge]
C D
One minute I had the key
G Em
next the walls were closed on me
C D
And I discovered that my castles stand
G Em
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[Chorus]
C D
I hear Jerusalem bells ringing
G Em
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
C D
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
G Em
My missionary in a foreign field
C D
For some reason I cant explain
G Em
Once you'd gone there was never
C D
Never an honest word
G Em
And that was when I ruled the world.
