G Em
People couldn't believe what I'd become
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
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
Bm Em
But that was when I ruled the world
Interlude
C Em
