Viva La Vida - Coldplay ( Lyrics and Chords )

INTRO:
E F# B G#m 
E F# B G#m 


VERSE 1:
          E        F# 
I USED TO RULE THE WORLD
           B                    G#m
SEAS WOULD RISE WHEN I GAVE THE WORD
                      E      F# 
NOW IN THE MORNING, I SLEEP ALONE
          B                 G#m
SWEEP THE STREETS I USED TO OWN


E F# B G#m 
E F# B G#m 


VERSE 2:
          E        F# 
I USED TO ROLL THE DICE
         B                   G#m
FEEL THE FEAR IN MY ENEMIES' EYES
              E           F# 
LISTEN AS THE CROWD WOULD SING
         B                      G#m
"NOW THE OLD KING IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE KING"
              E        F# 
ONE MINUTE, I HELD THE KEY
          B                 G#m 
NEXT, THE WALLS WERE CLOSED ON ME
                         E        F# 
AND I DISCOVERED THAT MY CASTLES STAND
     B                      G#m
UPON PILLARS OF SALT AND PILLARS OF SAND


CHORUS:
  E              F#      
I HEAR JERUSALEM BELLS ARE RINGIN'
B             G#m
ROMAN CAVALRY CHOIRS ARE SINGIN'
E                F# 
BE MY MIRROR, MY SWORD AND SHIELD
   B                 G#m
MY MISSIONARIES IN A FOREIGN FIELD
E                 F# 
FOR SOME REASON I CAN'T EXPLAIN
B /Eb                      G#m
ONCE YOU'D GONE, THERE WAS NEVER
         E      F# 
NEVER AN HONEST WORD
             B                G#m 
AND THAT WAS WHEN I RULED THE WORLD


E F# B G#m 
E F# B G#m 


VERSE 3:
                    E    F# 
IT WAS A WICKED AND WILD WIND
              B               G#m 
BLEW DOWN THE DOORS TO LET ME IN
                          E        F# 
SHATTERED WINDOWS AND THE SOUND OF DRUMS
       B                     G#m
PEOPLE COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I'D BECOME
         E      F# 
REVOLUTIONARIES WAIT
       B            G#m
FOR MY HEAD ON A SILVER PLATE
                   E       F# 
JUST A PUPPET ON A LONELY STRING (MMM, MMM)
    B                       G#m
AW, WHO WOULD EVER WANNA BE KING?


CHORUS:
  E              F#      
I HEAR JERUSALEM BELLS ARE RINGIN'
B             G#m
ROMAN CAVALRY CHOIRS ARE SINGIN'
E                F# 
BE MY MIRROR, MY SWORD AND SHIELD
   B                 G#m
MY MISSIONARIES IN A FOREIGN FIELD
E                 F# 
FOR SOME REASON I CAN'T EXPLAIN
  B /Eb                  G#m
I KNOW SAINT PETER WON'T CALL MY NAME
         E      F# 
NEVER AN HONEST WORD
             B                G#m 
AND THAT WAS WHEN I RULED THE WORLD
