Viva la Vida Coldplay
[Intro]
Csus2 Dsus4 G Emadd9 x2
[Verse 1]
I used to [C]rule the w[Dsus4]orld
Seas would [G]rise when I gave the w[Em]ord
Now in the morning I s[C]leep alo[Dsus4]ne
Sweep the [G]streets I used to [Em]own
[Interlude]
C D G Emadd9 x2
[Verse 2]
I used to r[C]oll the d[Dsus4]ice[D]
Feel the f[G]ear in my enemy's [Em]eyes[Emadd9]
Listen as the c[C]rowd would si[Dsus4]ng:[D]
"Now the o[G]ld king is dead! Long l[Em]ive the ki[Emadd9]ng!"
One minute I [C]held the k[Dsus4]ey[D]
Next the [G]walls were closed on [Em]me[Emadd9]
And I discovered that my c[C]astles sta[Dsus4]nd[D]
Upon [G]pillars of salt and pil[Em]lars of sa[Emadd9]nd
[Cborus]
I [Cadd9]hear Jerusalem b[Dsus4]ells are ringing
R[G]oman Cavalry [Em7]choirs are singing
[Cadd9]Be my mirror, my swo[Dsus4]rd, and shield
My [G]missionaries in a f[Em7]oreign field
[Cadd9]For some reason I c[Dsus4]an't explain
[G]Once you go there was n[Em7]ever, never an [C/E]honest w[D]ord
That was [Bm]when I ruled the w[G6/E]orld
[Interlude]
C Dsus4 D G Em Emadd9 x2
[Verse 3]
It was the wicked and [C]wild wi[Dsus4]nd[D]
Blew down the [G]doors to let me [Em]in.[Emadd9]
Shattered windows and the [C]sound of dr[Dsus4]ums[D]
People [G]couldn't believe what [Em]I'd become[Emadd9]
Revolution[C]aries w[Dsus4]ait[D]
For my h[G]ead on a silver p[Em]late[Emadd9]
Just a puppet on a l[C]onely str[Dsus4]ing[D]
Oh [G]who would ever want to be [Em]king?
[Cborus]
I [Cadd9]hear Jerusalem b[Dsus4]ells are ringing
R[G]oman Cavalry [Em7]choirs are singing
[Cadd9]Be my mirror, my sw[Dsus4]ord, and shield
My [G]missionaries in a f[Em7]oreign field
[Cadd9]For some reason I c[Dsus4]an't explain
I [G]know Saint Peter will [Em7]call my name,
never a[C/E]n honest w[D]ord
But that was w[Bm]hen I ruled the w[G6/E]orld
[Interlude]
Cadd9 Em7 x3
Dsus4 D x2
[C] [Dsus4] [D] [G] [Em] [Emadd9] [C] [Dsus4] [D] [G] [Em] [Emadd9]

[Cborus]
I [Cadd9]hear Jerusalem b[Dsus4]ells are ringing
R[G]oman Cavalry [Em7]choirs are singing
[Cadd9]Be my mirror, my sw[Dsus4]ord, and shield
My [G]missionaries in a f[Em7]oreign field
[Cadd9]For some reason I c[Dsus4]an't explain
I [G]know Saint Peter will [Em7]call my name,
[Outro]
never [C/E]an honest w[D]ord
But that was w[Bm]hen I ruled the w[G6/E]orld
