VERSE 3:
One minute I
[D] held the
[E] key
Next the
[A] walls were closed on
[F#m] me
And I discovered that my
[D] castles
[E] stand
Upon
[A] pillars of salt and pil-
[F#m]-lars of sand
CHORUS:
I
[D] hear Jerusalem
[E] bells are ringing
[A] Roman Cavalry
[F#m] choirs are singing
[D] Be my mirror, my
[E] sword, and shield
My
[A] missionaries in a
[F#m] foreign field
CHORUS 2:
[D] For some reason I
[E] can't explain
[A] Once you go there was
[F#m] never
never an ho-
[D]-nest
[E] word
That was
[C#m] when I ruled the
[F#m] world
BREAK: [D] [E] [A] [F#m] :
[x2]
VERSE 4:
It was the wicked and
[D] wild
[E] wind
Blew down the
[A] doors to let me
[F#m] in
Shattered windows and the
[D] sound of
[E] drums
People
[A] couldn't believe what
[F#m] I'd become
VERSE 5:
Revolution-
[D]-aries
[E] wait
For my
[A] head on a silver
[F#m] plate
Just a puppet on a
[D] lonely
[E] string
Oh
[A] who would ever want to be
[F#m] king?
REPEAT CHORUS 1 & 2:
INSTRUMENTAL:
[D] [F#m] //
[D] [F#m] //
[D] [F#m] //
[E] [E]
BRIDGE:
Whooa
[D] ooh
[E] ooh
[A] ooh
[F#m] ohh :
[x2]
REPEAT CHORUS 1 & 2:
OUTRO:
Whooa
[D] ooh
[E] ooh
[A] ooh
[F#m] ohh :
