Viva La Vida - Coldplay ( Lyrics and Chords )

INTRO:
F# G# C# Bbm 
F# G# C# Bbm 


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


F# G# C# Bbm 
F# G# C# Bbm 


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


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


F# G# C# Bbm 
F# G# C# Bbm 


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


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


F# Bbm
