Viva La Vida - Coldplay ( Lyrics and Chords )

INTRO:
Bb C F Dm 
Bb C F Dm 


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


Bb C F Dm 
Bb C F Dm 


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


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


Bb C F Dm 
Bb C F Dm 


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


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