Oh the changes

I'd make if

And be so blind

But at least for

A bright and

Shining moment

I had you, and

The world was mine

When I had your love

Once I ruled the earth

Once upon a time

When I had your love

That's when

The world was mine

When I had your love

That's when

The world was mine

That's it..I didn't tab the last solos...cause I think you should improvise on your own
