I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
C-D-G-Em (x4)
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!"
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
C D
I hear Jerusalem bells a 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
Once you go there was never
C D
Never an honest word
G EM
And that was when I ruled the world
C D
Kehne Ko Jashan-E-Bahara Hai
G Em
Ishq Yeh Dekhke Hairaan Hai(X2)
C D G Em
[Phool Se Khusboo Khafa Khafa Hai Gulsan Mein
C D G Em
Chupa Hai Koi Ranj Fiza Ki Chilman Mein]
D Em
Sare Sehmein Nazare Hain
D Em
Soye Soye Vaqt Ke Dhare Hain
C D Em D
Aur Dil Mein Koi Khoyi Si Baatein Hain
C D
Kehne Ko Jashan-E-Bahara Hai
G Em
Ishq Yeh Dekhke Hairaan Hai (X2)
C D G Em
[Phool Se Khusboo Khafa Khafa Hai Gulsan Mein
C D G Em
Chupa Hai Koi Ranj Fiza Ki Chilman Mein]
Chorus
C D
I hear Jerusalem bells a 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
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
C D
[Never an honest word
G Em
But that was when I ruled the world](play tab on 2nd time only)
Obviously listen to the way they perform the song to get the likeness of it. At
the end it comes in and out a couple times with the final chorus, just repeat the
same chords in those spaces. ENJOY! :)
