Coldplay - Viva La Vida

Capo on 1st fret.

 CDGEmx2

 CD
I used to rule the world 
 GEm
Seas would rise when I gave the word
 CD
Now in the morning I sleep alone
 GEm
Sweep the streets I used to own

 CDGEmx2
     

 CD
I used to roll the dice
 GEm
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
 CD
Listen as the crowd would sing:
 GEm
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

 CD
One minute I held the key
 GEm
Next the walls were closed on me
 CD
And I discovered that my castles stand
 GEm
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

 CD
hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
 GEm
 Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
 CD
 Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
 GEm
My missionaries in a foreign field
 CD
 For some reason I can't explain
 GEmCD
 Once you go there was never, never an honest word
 BmEm
That was when I ruled the world

 CD
It was the wicked and wild wind
 GEm
Blew down the doors to let me in.
 CD
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
 GEm
People couldn't believe what I'd become

 CD
Revolutionaries wait
 GEm
For my head on a silver plate
 CD
Just a puppet on a lonely string
 GEm
Oh who would ever want to be king?

 CD
hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
 GEm
 Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
 CD
 Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
 GEm
My missionaries in a foreign field
 CD
 For some reason I can't explain        
 GEm
know Saint Peter won't call my name ,
 CD
never an honest word
 BmEm
But that was when I ruled the world

(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

 CD
hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
 GEm
 Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
 CD
 Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
 GEm
My missionaries in a foreign field
 CD
 For some reason I can't explain          
 GEm

 CD
