Chords with lyrics
Album: Viva La Vida... Made by Maxime Legault ([email protected]) Hi everyone! So I made up this ACOUSTIC VERSION to help people who would like to play coldplay song, so it's not the album version (since it's a lot of piano...), but feel free for any or suggestions !!! So enjoy!!! Standard Tuning with Capo on 2nd fret Chords: B minorBm ========== x24432 Bsus2Bsus2 ======= x24422 G+G =========== 3x0003 Dmaj7sus4/G = 3x0023 E minorEm ========== 022000 Em6Em6 ========= 022020 Em(2) ======= 079987 A augmentedA =========== x02220 F# minorF#m ========= 244222 D MajorD =========== xx0232 or 200232 F#F# (note) === 2xxxxx
EASY VERSION: VERSE 1: B minorBm Was a long and dark December From the rooftops I remember G+G E minorEm There was snow, white snow B minorBm Clearly I remember from the windows G+G They were watching while we froze E minorEm Down below CHORUS: G+G When the future's architectured A augmentedA B minorBm By a carnival of idiots on show A augmentedA You'd better lie low G+G F# minorF#m D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm If you love me, won't you let me know?
VERSE 2: B minorBm Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals G+G E minorEm And the fog became God B minorBm Priests clutched onto bibles Hollowed out to fit their rifles G+G E minorEm And the cross was held aloft CHORUS: G+G Bury me an armor A augmentedA When I'm dead and hit the ground B minorBm A augmentedA My love's opposed, unfold G+G F# minorF#m D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm If you love me, won't you let me know? GUITAR SOLO: B minorBm B minorBm G+G E minorEm x2 (don't forget about the capo thing...it's 2 step higher so if you play without a capo, 3 a 5, 2 is a 7, etc...)

OUTRO: D MajorD G+G D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA G+G I took my love down to Violet Hill A augmentedA B minorBm F# minorF#m G+G There we sat in the snow G+G A augmentedA B minorBm E minorEm D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA All that time she was silent still F# minorF#m G+G F# minorF#m D MajorD B minorBm G+G So, if you love me, won't you let me know?

F# minorF#m G+G F# minorF#m D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA B minorBm If you love me, won't you let me know? So it's pretty much all there. For the distorted guitar fill during the verses (instead playing the E minorEm (and Em6Em6 for the complex one)), you can play the last 4 chords written in the "guitar solo"... So enjoy !!! (and feel free for any suggestions) (BTW, it's pretty fun to play around a fire with friends and beer!!)
