[F]I hear Jerusalem [G]bells are ringing.
[C]Roman Cavalry [Am]choirs are singing
[F]Be my mirror, my [G]sword and shield
My [C]missionaries in a [Am]foreign field
[F]For some reason I [G]can't explain
[C]Once you go there was [Am]never never an [F]honest [G]word
But that was [C]when I ruled the [Am]world
I used to [F]rule the [G]world. Seas would [C]rise when I gave the [Am]word
Now in the morning, I [F]sleep
a[G]lone. Sweep the [C]streets I used to [Am]own
One minute I [F]held the [G]key next the [C]walls were closed on [Am]me
And I discovered that my [F]castles [G]stand
Upon [C]pillars of salt and [Am]pillars of sand
[F]I hear Jerusalem [G]bells are ringing.
[C]Roman Cavalry [Am]choirs are singing
[F]Be my mirror, my [G]sword and shield
My [C]missionaries in a [Am]foreign field
[F]For some reason I [G]can't explain
[C]Once you go there was [Am]never never an [F]honest [G]word
But that was [C]when I ruled the [Am]world
Oh-oh-oh-oh-[F]oh. [G]Oh-oh-oh-oh-[C]oh
[Am]Oh-oh-oh-oh-[F]oh. [G]Oh-oh-oh-oh-[C]oh
[F]I hear Jerusalem [G]bells are ringing.
[C]Roman Cavalry [Am]choirs are singing
[F]Be my mirror, my [G]sword and shield
My [C]missionaries in a [Am]foreign field
[F]For some reason I [G]can't explain
[C]Once you go there was [Am]never never an [F]honest [G]word
But that was [C]when I ruled the [Am]world
