Viva la Vida Coldplay
Artist ? Coldplay
Song ? Viva La Vida
Well, since sings this song is sung so insanely high I tabbed out a version of the song
the Key of 'A'. It sounds a lot like the ?Boyce Avenue? version except its in normal
It sounds better than just the chords or the fifths, so i hope you like it. BTW, I
know the chord names so i just made up random ones.

INTRO:
Asus ? Bsus ? Esus ? Csus
VERSE 1a:
I used to rule th[Asus]e world[Bsus]
Seas would rise when [E]I gave the word[Csus]
Now in the morning I sweep alone[Asus] [Bsus]
Sweep the streets I u[E]sed to own[Csus]
-REPEAT INTRO-
VERSE 1b:
I used to roll[Asus] the dice[Bsus]
Feel the fear i[E]n my enemy's eyes[Csus]
Listen as the crowd wo[Asus]uld sing:[Bsus]
"Now the old king [E]is dead! Long live the king!"[Csus]
VERSE 1c:
One minute I held the k[Asus]ey[Bsus]
Next the walls w[E]ere closed on me[Csus]
And I discovered that my castles stand[Asus] [Bsus]
Upon pillars [E]of salt and pillars of sa[Csus]nd
CHORUS:
I h[Asus]ear Jerusalem bells a[Bsus] ringing
Ro[Esus]man Cavalry choirs are [Csus]singing
B[Asus]e my mirror my sword and sh[Bsus]ield
My missio[Esus]naries in a foreign fiel[Csus]d
[Asus]For some reason I can't ex[Bsus]plain
[Esus]Once you go there was never, never [Csus]an honest word[Asus] [Bsus]
That was when I ru[G#sus]led the world[Csus]
REPEAT INTRO (through the Ohhh's):
VERSE 2a:
It was the wicked and wild wind[Asus] [Bsus]
Blew down the doors to let[E] me in[Csus]
Shattered windows and the sound of drums[Asus] [Bsus]
People couldn't b[E]elieve what I'd become[Csus]
VERSE 2b:
Revolutionaries w[Asus]ait[Bsus]
For my head on [E]a silver plate[Csus]
Just a puppet on a lonely strin[Asus]g[Bsus]
Oh wh[E]o would ever want to be king?[Csus]
CHORUS:
I h[Asus]ear Jerusalem bells a[Bsus] ringing
Ro[Esus]man Cavalry choirs are [Csus]singing
B[Asus]e my mirror my sword and sh[Bsus]ield
My missio[Esus]naries in a foreign fiel[Csus]d
[Asus]For some reason I can't ex[Bsus]plain
I[Esus] know Saint Peter will call my na[Csus]me
Never an honest [Asus]word[Bsus]
But that was when I ru[G#sus]led the world[Csus]
BRIDGE:
Asus ? Csus ? Asus ? Csus
INTRO(through the Ohhh's)
CHORUS:
I h[Asus]ear Jerusalem bells a[Bsus] ringing
Ro[Esus]man Cavalry choirs are [Csus]singing
B[Asus]e my mirror my sword and sh[Bsus]ield
My missio[Esus]naries in a foreign fiel[Csus]d
[Asus]For some reason I can't ex[Bsus]plain
I[Esus] know Saint Peter will call my na[Csus]me
Never an honest [Asus]word[Bsus]
But that was when I ru[G#sus]led the world[Csus]
INTRO(quietly though the Ohhh's)
