Coldplay-viva-la-vida Coldplay
I used to r[C]ule the w[D]orld
Seas would r[G]ise when I gave the [Em]word
Now in the morning I sw[C]eep al[D]one
Sweep the str[G]eets I used to [Em]own
C D G Em (x2)
I used to r[C]oll the d[D]ice
Feel the f[G]ear in my enemy's [Em]eyes
Listen as the cr[C]owd would s[D]ing:
"Now the [G]old king is dead! [Em]Long live the king!"
One minute I h[C]eld the k[D]ey
Next the w[G]alls were closed on [Em]me
And I discovered that my c[C]astles st[D]and
Upon p[G]illars of salt and p[Em]illars of sand
Chorus:
I h[C]ear Jerusalem b[D]ells are ringing
R[G]oman Cavalry c[Em]hoirs are singing
B[C]e my mirror, my sw[D]ord, and shield
My m[G]issionaries in a f[Em]oreign field
F[C]or some reason I c[D]an't explain
[G]Once you go there was [Em]never, never an h[C]onest w[D]ord
That was w[Bm]hen I ruled the w[Em]orld
C D G Em (x2)
It was the wicked and w[C]ild w[D]ind
Blew down the d[G]oors to let me [Em]in.
Shattered windows and the s[C]ound of dr[D]ums
People c[G]ouldn't believe what [Em]I'd become
Revolution[C]aries w[D]ait
For my h[G]ead on a silver p[Em]late
Just a puppet on a l[C]onely str[D]ing
Oh w[G]ho would ever want to be k[Em]ing?
Chorus:
I h[C]ear Jerusalem b[D]ells are ringing
R[G]oman Cavalry c[Em]hoirs are singing
B[C]e my mirror, my sw[D]ord, and shield
My m[G]issionaries in a f[Em]oreign field
F[C]or some reason I c[D]an't explain
I kn[G]ow Saint Peter won't c[Em]all my name ,
never an h[C]onest w[D]ord
But that was w[Bm]hen I ruled the w[Em]orld
C Em C Em C Em D-D D-D D D-D D-D D (x2)
C D G Em (x2)
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
Chorus:
I h[C]ear Jerusalem b[D]ells are ringing
R[G]oman Cavalry c[Em]hoirs are singing
B[C]e my mirror, my sw[D]ord, and shield
My [G]missionaries in a [Em]foreign field
[C]For some reason I [D]can't explain
I [G]know Saint Peter won't[Em] call my name ,
Never an h[C]onest w[D]ord
But that was w[Bm]hen I ruled the [Em]world
[C]Ooooo[D]h [Bm]Oooooh [Em]Oooooh ( Repeat to fade )
