Coldplay, Viva La Vida (2008)
^{Key: :[Gm] (w: Coldplay)}

INTRO: [Eb] [F] [Bb] [Gm] : [x2]

VERSE 1:
I used to [Eb] rule the [F] world
Seas would [Bb] rise when I gave the [Gm] word
Now in the morning I [Eb] sleep a-[F]-lone
Sweep the [Bb] streets I used to [Gm] own

BREAK: [Eb] [F] [Bb] [Gm] : [x2]

VERSE 2:
I used to [Eb] roll the [F] dice
Feel the [Bb] fear in my enemy's [Gm] eyes
Listen as the [Eb] crowd would [F] sing
"Now the [Bb] old king is dead, [Gm] long live the king"

VERSE 3:
One minute I [Eb] held the [F] key
Next the [Bb] walls were closed on [Gm] me
And I discovered that my [Eb] castles [F] stand
Upon [Bb] pillars of salt and pil-[Gm]-lars of sand

CHORUS:
I [Eb] hear Jerusalem [F] bells are ringing
[Bb] Roman Cavalry [Gm] choirs are singing
[Eb] Be my mirror, my [F] sword, and shield
My [Bb] missionaries in a [Gm] foreign field

CHORUS 2:
[Eb] For some reason I [F] can't explain
[Bb] Once you go there was [Gm] never
never an ho-[Eb]-nest [F] word
That was [Dm] when I ruled the [Gm] world

BREAK: [Eb] [F] [Bb] [Gm] : [x2]

VERSE 4:
It was the wicked and [Eb] wild [F] wind
Blew down the [Bb] doors to let me [Gm] in
Shattered windows and the [Eb] sound of [F] drums
People [Bb] couldn't believe what [Gm] I'd become

VERSE 5:
Revolution-[Eb]-aries [F] wait
For my [Bb] head on a silver [Gm] plate
Just a puppet on a [Eb] lonely [F] string
Oh [Bb] who would ever want to be [Gm] king?

REPEAT CHORUS 1 & 2:

INSTRUMENTAL:
[Eb] [Gm] // [Eb] [Gm] // [Eb] [Gm] // [F] [F]

BRIDGE:
Whooa [Eb] ooh [F] ooh [Bb] ooh [Gm] ohh : [x2]

REPEAT CHORUS 1 & 2:

OUTRO:
Whooa [Eb] ooh [F] ooh [Bb] ooh [Gm] ohh : [x3]
