Viva La Vida - Coldplay ( Lyrics and Chords )

INTRO:
A B E C#m 
A B E C#m 


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


A B E C#m 
A B E C#m 


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


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


A B E C#m 
A B E C#m 


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


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


A C#m
