Viva La Vida Chords by Coldplay, www.Ultimate-Guitar.Com
song:VIVA LA VIDA
by COLDPLAY
album:VIVA LA VIDA or DEATH AND ALL HIS FRIENDS
-----------------------
Update on 5/19/08 - added no capo version
-----------------------
These are all basic chords if you use a capo on the first fret.
if you dont have a capo, C becomes C# , G becomes G#,
Em becomes Fm, D becomes D#, Bm becomes Cm.
Weird synthetizer/violin thingy arranged for guitar. Try to change between
normal and power chords when you feel like it, or it just will be too monotonous.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STANDARD TUNING - CAPO 1
INTRO: C - D - G - Em x2
(Em) C D
I used to rule the world
G Em
Seas would rise when I gave the word
C D
Now in the morning I sleep alone
G Em
Sweep the streets I used to own
C - D - G - Em x2
(Em) C D
I used to roll the dice
G Em
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
C D
Listen as the crowd would sing:
G Em
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
(Em) C D
One minute I held the key
G Em
Next the walls were closed on me
C D
And I discovered that my castles stand
G Em
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
C D
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C D
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G Em
My missionaries in a foreign field
C D
For some reason I can't explain
G Em C D
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
Bm Em
That was when I ruled the world
C - D - G - Em x2
(Em) C D
It was the wicked and wild wind
G Em
Blew down the doors to let me in.
C D
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
G Em
People couldn't believe what I'd become
(Em) C D
Revolutionaries wait
G Em
For my head on a silver plate
C D
Just a puppet on a lonely string
G Em
Oh who would ever want to be king?
C D
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C D
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G Em
My missionaries in a foreign field
C D
For some reason I can't explain
G Em
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
C D
never an honest word
Bm Em
But that was when I ruled the world
C - Em x3
D x2
C - D - G - Em x2
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
C D
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
C D
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
G Em
My missionaries in a foreign field
C D
For some reason I can't explain
G Em
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
C D
never an honest word
Bm Em
But that was when I ruled the world
C - D - Bm - Em and fading...
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
