Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)
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 majorC becomes C#C# , G+G becomes G#, 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: E minorEm x2 (D MajorD I used to rule the world E minorEm Seas would rise when I gave the word D MajorD Now in the morning I sleep alone E minorEm Sweep the streets I used to own E minorEm x2 (D MajorD I used to roll the dice E minorEm Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes D MajorD Listen as the crowd would sing: E minorEm "Now the old king is dead!

D MajorD Shattered windows and the sound of drums E minorEm People couldn't believe what I'd become (D MajorD Revolutionaries wait E minorEm For my head on a silver plate D MajorD Just a puppet on a lonely string E minorEm Oh who would ever want to be king?
D MajorD I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing E minorEm Roman Cavalry choirs are singing D MajorD Be my mirror, my sword, and shield E minorEm My missionaries in a foreign field D MajorD For some reason I can't explain E minorEm I know Saint Peter will call my name , D MajorD never an honest word E minorEm But that was when I ruled the world E minorEm x3 D MajorD x2 E minorEm x2 (Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) D MajorD I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing E minorEm Roman Cavalry choirs are singing D MajorD Be my mirror, my sword, and shield E minorEm My missionaries in a foreign field D MajorD For some reason I can't explain E minorEm I know Saint Peter will call my name , D MajorD never an honest word E minorEm But that was when I ruled the world C majorC - D MajorD - B minorBm - E minorEm and fading...
