Viva La Vida - Coldplay ( Lyrics and Chords )

INTRO:
Eb F Bb Gm 
Eb F Bb Gm 


VERSE 1:
          Eb       F 
I USED TO RULE THE WORLD
           Bb                   Gm
SEAS WOULD RISE WHEN I GAVE THE WORD
                      Eb     F 
NOW IN THE MORNING, I SLEEP ALONE
          Bb                Gm
SWEEP THE STREETS I USED TO OWN


Eb F Bb Gm 
Eb F Bb Gm 


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


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


Eb F Bb Gm 
Eb F Bb Gm 


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


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