Viva la Vida
STANDARD TUNING - CAPO 1
[Intro]
C - D - G - Em (x2)
[Verse 1]
Em C D
I used to rule the world
G Em
Seas would rise when I gave the word
C D
Now in the morning I sleep alone
G Em
Sweep the streets I used to own
C - D - G - Em (x2)
[Verse 2]
Em C D
I used to roll the dice
G Em
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
C D
Listen as the crowd would sing:
G Em
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
Em C D
One minute I held the key
G Em
Next the walls were closed on me
C D
And I discovered that my castles stand
G Em
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[Chorus]
C D
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C D
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G Em
My missionaries in a foreign field
C D
For some reason I can't explain
G Em C D
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
Bm Em
That was when I ruled the world
[Instrumental]
C - D - G - Em (x2)
[Verse 1]
Em C D
It was the wicked and wild wind
G Em
Blew down the doors to let me in.
C D
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
G Em
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Em C D
Revolutionaries wait
G Em
For my head on a silver plate
C D
Just a puppet on a lonely string
G Em
Oh who would ever want to be king?
[Chorus]
C D
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C D
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G Em
My missionaries in a foreign field
C D
For some reason I can't explain
G Em
I know Saint Peter won't call my name ,
C D
never an honest word
Bm Em
But that was when I ruled the world
[Instrumental]
C Em (x2)
C Em D
[Bridge]
C - D - G - Em (x2)
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
[Chorus]
C D
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C D
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G Em
My missionaries in a foreign field
C D
For some reason I can't explain
G Em
I know Saint Peter won't call my name ,
C D
never an honest word
Bm Em
But that was when I ruled the world
[Outro]
Em C Em Em - fading out strum once
(ooh ooh ooh...)
