Coldplay - Viva La Vida Chords

[Opening]
[C] [D] [G] [Em]
[Em]I used to [C]rule the [D]world
Seas would [G]rise when I gave the [Em]word
Now in the morning I [C]sleep al[D]one
Sweep the [G]streets I used to [Em]own

[verse 2]
[C] [D] [G] [Em]
[Em]I used to[C]roll the [D]dice
Feel the f[G]ear in my enemy’s [Em]eyes
Listen as the [C]crowd would s[D]ing:
“Now the o[G]ld king is dead! [Em]Long live the king!”
On[Em]e minute I [C]held the [D]key
Next the [G]walls were closed on [Em]me
And I discovered that my [C]castles [D]stand
Upon [G]pillars of salt and [Em]pillars of sand

[verse 3]
I [C]hear Jerusalem [D]bells are ringing
[G]Roman Cavalry [Em]choirs are singing
[C]Be my mirror, my [D]sword, and shield
My [G]missionaries in a [Em]foreign field
[C]For some reason I [D]can’t explain
[G]Once you go there was [Em]never, never an [C]honest [D]word
That was [Bm]when I ruled the [Em]world

[verse 4]
[C] [D] [G] [Em]
[Em]It was the wicked and[C]wild [D]wind
Blew down the [G]doors to let me [Em]in.
Shattered windows and the [C]sound of [D]drums
People [G]couldn’t believe what[Em]I’d become
[Em]Revolutio[C]naries [D]wait
For my [G]head on a silver [Em]plate
Just a puppet on a [C]lonely [D]string
Oh [G]who would ever want to be [Em]king?

[verse 5]
I [C]hear Jerusalem [D]bells are ringing
[G]Roman Cavalry [Em]choirs are singing
[C]Be my mirror, my [D]sword, 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 ,
Nev[C]er an honest [D]word
But that was w[Bm]hen I ruled the [Em]world

[Closing]
[C] [Em] [C] [Em] [C] [Em] [D]
[C](Oh[D]hhh[G]h O[Em]hhh Ohhh)
I [C]hear Jerusalem [D]bells are ringing
[G]Roman Cavalry [Em]choirs are singing
[C]Be my mirror, my [D]sword, 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,
Nev[C]er an honest [D]word
But that was w[Bm]hen I ruled the [Em]world
[C]Ooo[D]ooh[Bm]Ooo[Em]ooh Oooooh
