C# - Capo: II

[Intro]
B C# F# D#m    x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
          B        C#
I used to rule the world
           F#                    D#m
Seas would rise when I gave the word
                     B      C#
Now in the morning I sleep alone
          F#                 D#m
Sweep the streets I used to own
 
 
[Interlude]
B C# F# D#m    x2
 
 
[Verse 2]
          B        C#
I used to roll the dice
         F#                  D#m
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
              B           C#
Listen as the crowd would sing:
         F#                      D#m
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
             B        C#
One minute I held the key
         F#                    D#m
Next the walls were closed on me
                         B       C#
And I discovered that my castles stand
     F#                       D#m
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
 
 
[Chorus]
  B              C#
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
F#             D#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
B                C#
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   F#                 D#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
B                 C#
For some reason I can't explain
F#                     D#m              B      C#
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
         A#m               D#m
That was when I ruled the world
 
 
[Interlude]
B C# F# D#m    x2
 
 
[Verse 3]
                      B    C#
It was the wicked and wild wind
              F#               D#m
Blew down the doors to let me in.
                          B        C#
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
       F#                     D#m
People couldn't believe what I'd become
         B      C#
Revolutionaries wait
       F#                D#m
For my head on a silver plate
                   B      C#
Just a puppet on a lonely string
   F#                         D#m
Oh who would ever want to be king?
 
 
[Chorus]
  B              C#
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
F#             D#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
B                C#
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   F#                 D#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
B                 C#
For some reason I can't explain
  F#                      D#m
I know Saint Peter won't call my name,
         B      C#
never an honest word
             A#m               D#m
But that was when I ruled the world
 
 
[Interlude]
B  D#m x3
C#  C#
  B   C#    F#   D#m
Ohhhhhh  Ohhhhhhh
  B   C#    F#   D#m
Ohhhhhh  Ohhhhhhh
 
 
[Chorus]
  B              C#
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
F#             D#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
B                C#
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   F#                 D#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
B                 C#
For some reason I can't explain
  F#                      D#m
I know Saint Peter won't call my name,
         B      C#
never an honest word
             A#m               D#m
But that was when I ruled the world
 
 
[Outro]
B    C#  A#m   D#m
Oooooh  Ooooooh
B    C#  A#m   D#m
Oooooh  Ooooooh
