Hello! This version of "Viva la Vida" is my interpretation of the following performance:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-el3KkA5zK8I cannot say with certainty that this is 100% accurate, so if anyone has corrections to be made, please feelfree to comment and I can make the changes accordingly! Also, I'm not well-versed in music theory, so the names I've decided to give each chord are nominal and purely for playing purposes.Playing Notes:If you're unable to fret chords with your left thumb (if you're a righty), then you're going to be unable toplay this version; however, you could play it using only the first set of chords. Muting the verses sounds thebest, but this is a purely subjective opinion. Play it however you'd like![TUNING]: D# G# C# G G# d#[CHORDS]:During the verses:C#: 10 12 12 10 x xD#: 0 12 12 10 x x G#: 9 12 12 10 x xFm: 9 9 7 8 x xDuring the choruses:C#: 5 5 7 6 7 0D#: 0 7 6 5 7 0G#: 5 7 7 8 0 0Fm: 2 4 4 5 0 0[Intro]: d#|-----0---5--4--2---2-----2------0--------0---5--4--0---0-----0--------|G#|--0-------------------0-----0---------0-------------------0-----0--4b-|G |----------------------------------------------------------------------| playC#|----------------------------------------------------------------------| x2G#|----------------------------------------------------------------------|D#|----------------------------------------------------------------------|[Verse 1] * first set of chords *C#D#I used to rule the world,G#FmSeas would rise when I gave the word.C#D#Now in the morning I sleep alone,G#FmSweep the streets I used to own.C# D# G# Fm x2C#D#I used to roll the dice,G#FmFeel the fear in my enemy's eyes.C#D#Listen as the crowd would sing,G#Fm"Now the old king is dead!
