Guitar chords with lyrics


Coldplay - Viva La Vida

TUNED HALF STEP DOWN - Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

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
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
(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...
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
