Tabs + Lyrics:
Kalimba Tonality: B
(6 – 1) 6 6 6 (7 – 2) 7 7 7 7
(1◦ – 3) 1◦ 1◦ 1◦ 5 (6 – 1) 6 6 6 6
(6 – 1) 6 6 6 (7 – 2) 7 7 7 7
(5 – 1) 5 5 5 (6 – 1) 6 6
3◦ 3◦ 3◦ (3◦ – 4) 4◦ 2◦ 2
I used to rule the world
2◦ 1◦ (2◦ – 3) 2◦ 1◦ 3◦ 5 6 1
Seas would rise when I gave the word
3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ (3◦ – 4) 4◦ 2◦ 2
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
2◦ 1◦ (2◦ – 3) 2◦ 1◦ 2◦ 3◦ 1◦ 1 7 6
Sweep the streets I used to own
(6 – 1) 5 6 7 2
(1◦ – 3) 5 6 1
(6 – 1) 5 6 7 2
(1◦ – 3) 5 6 1
3◦ 3◦ 3◦ (3◦ – 4) 4◦ 2◦ 2
I used to roll the dice
2◦ 1◦ (2◦ – 3) 2◦ 1◦ 2◦ 2◦ 3◦ 1◦ 1 7 6
Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ (3◦ – 4) 4◦ 2◦ 2
Listen as the crowd would sing
2◦ 1◦ (3◦ – 3) 2◦ 1◦ 1◦ (3◦ – 5) 2◦ 1◦ 1◦
Now the old king is dead, long live the king
6◦ 6◦ 6◦ 6◦ (6◦ – 4) 3◦ 5◦ 2
One minute, I held the key
5◦ 5◦ (5◦ – 3) 5◦ 5◦ 4◦ 3◦ 5
Next the walls were closed on me
3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ (3◦ – 4) 4◦ 2◦ 2
And I discovered that my castles stand
1◦ 2◦ (3◦ – 3) 2◦ 1◦ 1◦ 1◦ (3◦ – 5) 2◦ 1◦ 1◦
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
1◦ (6◦ – 4) 6◦ 6◦ 6◦ 5◦ 6◦ 5◦ 2 2◦ 3◦ 4◦
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin’
(5◦ – 3) 5◦ 5◦ 3◦ 5◦ 3◦ 5 7 7 1◦
Roman Cavalry choirs are singin’
(6◦ – 4) 6◦ 6◦ 5◦ 6◦ 5◦ 2 2◦ 3◦
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
4◦ (5◦ – 3) 3◦ 5◦ 5◦ 3◦ 5◦ 3◦ 5 7 7 1◦
My missionaries in a foreign field
(6◦ – 4) 6◦ 6◦ 5◦ 6◦ 7◦ 2 7◦ 7◦
For some reason, I can’t explain
(5◦ – 3) 5◦ 5◦ 4◦ 4◦ 4◦ 5 3◦
Once you’d gone, there was never,
3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 4 4◦ 2◦ 2
never an honest word
1◦ 7 (7 – 3) 7 7 3◦ 7 1◦ 1
And that was when I ruled the world
(6 – 1) 6 6 6 (7 – 2) 7 7 7 7
(1◦ – 3) 1◦ 1◦ 1◦ 5 (6 – 1) 6 6 6 6
(6 – 1) 6 6 6 (7 – 2) 7 7 7 7
(5 – 1) 5 5 5 (6 – 1) 6 6
3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ (3◦ – 4) 4◦ 2◦ 2
It was a wicked and wild wind
1◦ 2◦ 1◦ (2◦ – 3) 1◦ 2◦ 3◦ 1◦ 1 7 6
Blew down the doors to let me in
3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ (3◦ – 4) 4◦ 2◦ 2
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
2◦ 1◦ (3◦ – 3) 2◦ 1◦ 1◦ (3◦ – 5) 2◦ 1◦ 1◦
People couldn’t believe what I’d become
6◦ 6◦ 6◦ (6◦ – 4) 3◦ 5◦ 2
Revolutionaries wait
5◦ 5◦ (5◦ – 3) 5◦ 5◦ 5◦ 4◦ 3◦ 5
For my head on a silver plate
3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ (3◦ – 4) 4◦ 2◦ 2
Just a puppet on a lonely string
1◦ (3◦ – 3) 2◦ 1◦ (3◦ – 5) 2◦ 1◦ (1◦ – 1)
Oh, who would ever want to be king?
1◦ (6◦ – 4) 6◦ 6◦ 6◦ 5◦ 6◦ 5◦ 2 2◦ 3◦ 4◦
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin’
(5◦ – 3) 5◦ 5◦ 3◦ 5◦ 3◦ 5 7 7 1◦
Roman Cavalry choirs are singin’
(6◦ – 4) 6◦ 6◦ 5◦ 6◦ 5◦ 2 2◦ 3◦

For some reason, I can’t explain
5◦ (5◦ – 3) 5◦ 5◦ 4◦ 4◦ 4◦ 5 3◦ 3◦
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 3◦ 4 4◦ 2◦ 2
never an honest word
1◦ 7 (7 – 3) 7 7 3◦ 7 1◦ 1
And that was when I ruled the world
