Biography:
I work with the PS22 chorus, an incredible bunch of NYC public school 5th graders! The chorus has performed all over New York, and have gained quite a following on the internet, particularly with Tori Amos fans. They've sung with Tori, Crowded House, Judy Torres, Lena, and have also performed for Marcia Gay Harden, Matthew Modine, CNN's Paula Zahn, Senator Charles Schumer, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Intro (Rhythm Pattern #1): G A7sus4 D7M D6 (x2)
Verse 1 (Rhythm Pattern #2):
G A7sus4
I used to rule the world
D7M D6
Seas would rise when I gave the word
G A7sus4
Now in the morning I sleep alone
D7M D6
Sweep the streets I used to own
Interlude: Rhythm Pattern #1 (x2)
Verse 2 (Rhythm Pattern #2):
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
Verse 3 (Rhythm Pattern #2):
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Chorus (Rhythm Pattern #1):
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
Verse 4 (Rhythm Pattern #2):
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Verse 5 (Rhythm Pattern #2):
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, who would ever wanna be king?
Chorus (Rhythm Pattern #1):
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Interlude (Rhythm Pattern #1): Oh oh oh oh oh oh (x4)
Chorus (Rhythm Pattern #1):
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
