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

(Am)      F        G
I used to rule the world 
           C                    Am
Seas would rise when I gave the word 
                     F     G
Now in the morning I sleep alone 
          C                 Am

(Am)      F        G
I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes 
              F           G
Listen as the crowd would sing
         C                       Am
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" 
             F        G
One minute I held the key

Be my mirror my sword and shield

F                 G
For some reason I can't explain 
C                     Am
Once you go there was never

Revolutionaries wait 
       C                Am
For my head on a silver plate 
                   F      G
Just a puppet on a lonely string 
   C                         Am

I used to rule the world 
           G                    Em
Seas would rise when I gave the word 
                     C       D
Now in the morning I sleep alone 
          G                 Em
Sweep the streets I used to own

C - D - G - Em    x2

(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 

  C              D
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 
G             Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword, and shield

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

People have been making their own versions, but this sounds the best in my ear. Keep in mind the tiny tiny break in between the notes. this is basically the whole song. for the second chord, move and F chord down two frets without barring.

A|--0-0-0-0/0-0-0-0--3-3-3-3--0-0-0-0
E|--1-1-1-1/3-3-3-3--3-3-3-3--0-0-0-0
C|--0-0-0-0/0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0
G|--2-2-2-2/4-4-4-4--0-0-0-0--2-2-2-2

Chords: F,G,C,Am

Figure out the strumming pattern by yourself. There are lots of ways to do it. :)

#Hope you enjoy the cover. Chords are rotational throughout the song. When playing C, mute the A string. Have fun! -Franz :)

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness

Out Of The Darkness

LA RE
Jo et duré a casa si fa mal temps

De tot cor, de tot cor
RE REm LA
De tot cor

MI RE DO#m-SIm-LA

FA#m DO#m
Estic a punt d’anar-me’n
RE LA RE
Mes abans de partir et diré
REm LA
Que et duc dins es pensament

FA#m DO#m
No deix de recordar-te
RE LA RE
I alen els teus alens tot calents
REm SIm MI
De lluny i de prop me tens


Jo et duré...

FA#m DO#m
I a dalt de s’escenari
RE LA RE
Quan estic concentrat cantant
REm MI
Jo sempre te tenc present

Perquè m’ets necessari
RE LA
Com s’aire que respir
RE REm SIm MI
Necessit estar amb tu en tot moment


Jo et duré... ( bis )
