coldplay – viva la vida

tuned half step down – D# G# C# F# A# D#

intro : D – E – A – F#m x2

( F#m ) D E
i used to rule the world
A F#m
seas would rise when i gave the word
D E
now in the morning i sleep alone
A F#m
sweep the streets i used to own

D – E – A – F#m x2

( F#m ) D E
i used to roll the dice
A F#m
feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
D E
listen as the crowd would sing :
A F#m
“now the old king is dead! long live the king!”

( F#m ) D E
one minute i held the key
A F#m
next the walls were closed on me
D E
and i discovered that my castles stand
A F#m
upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

D E
i hear jerusalem bells are ringing
A F#m
roman cavalry choirs are singing
D E
be my mirror , my sword , and shield
A F#m
my missionaries in a foreign field
D E
for some reason i can’t explain
A F#m D E
once you go there was never , never an honest word
C#m F#m
that was when i ruled the world

D – E – A – F#m x2

( F#m ) D E
it was the wicked and wild wind
A F#m
blew down the doors to let me in .
D E
shattered windows and the sound of drums
A F#m
people couldn’t believe what i’d become

( F#m ) D E
revolutionaries wait
A F#m
for my head on a silver plate
D E
just a puppet on a lonely string
A F#m
oh who would ever want to be king?

D E
i hear jerusalem bells are ringing
A F#m
roman cavalry choirs are singing
D E
be my mirror , my sword , and shield
A F#m
my missionaries in a foreign field
D E
for some reason i can’t explain
A F#m
i know saint peter will call my name ,
D E
never an honest word
C#m F#m
but that was when i ruled the world

D – F#m x3
E x2

D – E – A – F#m x2
( ohhhhh ohhh ohhh )

D E
i hear jerusalem bells are ringing
A F#m
roman cavalry choirs are singing
D E
be my mirror , my sword , and shield
A F#m
my missionaries in a foreign field
D E
for some reason i can’t explain
A F#m
i know saint peter will call my name ,
D E
never an honest word
C#m F#m
but that was when i ruled the world

D – E – C#m – F#m and fading . . .
