Viva La Vida - Coldplay ( Lyrics and Chords )

INTRO:
B C# F# Ebm 
B C# F# Ebm 


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


B C# F# Ebm 
B C# F# Ebm 


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


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


B C# F# Ebm 
B C# F# Ebm 


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


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