Coldplay - Viva La Vida Chords

   [Intro]
C    D7sus4   G   Em
C    D7sus4   G   Em
 
 
   [Verse 1]
          C        D7sus4
I used to rule the world
           G                    Em
Seas would rise when I gave the word
                     C      D7sus4
Now in the morning I sleep alone
          G                 Em
Sweep the streets I used to own

   [Verse 2]
          C        D7sus4
I used to roll the dice
         G                  Em
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
              C           D7sus4
Listen as the crowd would sing
        G                      Em
Now the old King is dead, long live the King
             C        D7sus4
One minute I held the key
         G                    Em
Next the walls were closed on me
                         C       D7sus4
And I discovered that my castles stand
     G                   Em
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
 
 
   [Chorus]
  C              D7
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
G             Emadd9
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C                D7
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
   G                 Emadd9
My missionaries in a foreign field
C                 D7
For some reason I can't explain
G/B                   Emadd9
Once you'd gone there was never
         C      D7
Never an honest word
             Gmaj7            G6/E
And that was when I ruled the world

[Verse 3]
                  C        D7sus4
It was the wicked and wild wind
              G               Em
Blew down the doors to let me in
                          C        D7sus4
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
       G                     Em
People couldn't believe what I'd become
         C      D7sus4
Revolutionaries wait
       G                Em
For my head on a silver plate
                   C      D7sus4
Just a puppet on a lonely string
   G                         Em
Oh who would ever want to be king?
 
 
   [Chorus]
  C              D7
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
G             Emadd9
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C                D7
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
   G                  Emadd9
My missionaries in a foreign field
C                 D7
For some reason I can't explain
  G/B                    Emadd9
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
      C
Never an honest word
             Gmaj7            G6/E
But that was when I ruled the world

(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh) For some reason I can't explain
                   G/B                    Emadd9
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh) I know Saint Peter won't call my name
         Cmaj7  D6sus4
Never an honest word
             Gmaj7            G6/E
But that was when I ruled the world
