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

INTRO: [E] [Gb] [B] [G#m] : [x2]

VERSE 1:
I used to [E] rule the [Gb] world
Seas would [B] rise when I gave the [G#m] word
Now in the morning I [E] sleep a-[Gb]-lone
Sweep the [B] streets I used to [G#m] own

BREAK: [E] [Gb] [B] [G#m] : [x2]

VERSE 2:
I used to [E] roll the [Gb] dice
Feel the [B] fear in my enemy's [G#m] eyes
Listen as the [E] crowd would [Gb] sing
"Now the [B] old king is dead, [G#m] long live the king"

VERSE 3:
One minute I [E] held the [Gb] key
Next the [B] walls were closed on [G#m] me
And I discovered that my [E] castles [Gb] stand
Upon [B] pillars of salt and pil-[G#m]-lars of sand

CHORUS:
I [E] hear Jerusalem [Gb] bells are ringing
[B] Roman Cavalry [G#m] choirs are singing
[E] Be my mirror, my [Gb] sword, and shield
My [B] missionaries in a [G#m] foreign field

CHORUS 2:
[E] For some reason I [Gb] can't explain
[B] Once you go there was [G#m] never
never an ho-[E]-nest [Gb] word
That was [D#m] when I ruled the [G#m] world

BREAK: [E] [Gb] [B] [G#m] : [x2]

VERSE 4:
It was the wicked and [E] wild [Gb] wind
Blew down the [B] doors to let me [G#m] in
Shattered windows and the [E] sound of [Gb] drums
People [B] couldn't believe what [G#m] I'd become

VERSE 5:
Revolution-[E]-aries [Gb] wait
For my [B] head on a silver [G#m] plate
Just a puppet on a [E] lonely [Gb] string
Oh [B] who would ever want to be [G#m] king?

REPEAT CHORUS 1 & 2:

INSTRUMENTAL:
[E] [G#m] // [E] [G#m] // [E] [G#m] // [Gb] [Gb]

BRIDGE:
Whooa [E] ooh [Gb] ooh [B] ooh [G#m] ohh : [x2]

REPEAT CHORUS 1 & 2:

OUTRO:
Whooa [E] ooh [Gb] ooh [B] ooh [G#m] ohh : [x3]
