Em C D

I used to roll the dice

G Em

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

C D

Listen as the crowd would sing:

G Em

"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

Em C D

One minute I held 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 are ringing

G Em

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

C D

Be my mirror, my sword, and shield

G Em

My missionaries in a foreign field

C D

For some reason I can't explain

G Em C D

Once you go there was never, never an honest word

It was the wicked and wild wind

G Em

Blew down the doors to let me in.

C D

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

G Em

People couldn't believe what I'd become

Em C D

Revolutionaries wait

G Em

For my head on a silver plate

C D

Just a puppet on a lonely string

G Em

Oh who would ever want to be king?

[Chorus]

C D

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

G Em

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

C D

Be my mirror, my sword, and shield

My missionaries in a foreign field

I know Saint Peter won't call my name ,

never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world
