Coldplay - Viva La Vida

TUNED HALF STEP DOWN - Eb MajorEb AbAb DbDb GbGb Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb

INTRO: D MajorD - E MajorE - A augmentedA - F# minorF#m  x2

(F# minorF#m)   D MajorD    E MajorE
I used to rule the world
      A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
Seas would rise when I gave the word
           D MajorD    E MajorE
Now in the morning I sleep alone
     A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
Sweep the streets I used to own

D MajorD - E MajorE - A augmentedA - F# minorF#m  x2

(F# minorF#m)   D MajorD     E MajorE
I used to roll the dice
     A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
       D MajorD      E MajorE
Listen as the crowd would sing:
     A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

(F# minorF#m)     D MajorD    E MajorE
One minute I held the key
     A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
Next the walls were closed on me
             D MajorD    E MajorE
And I discovered that my castles stand
   A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

D MajorD       E MajorE
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
D MajorD        E MajorE
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
  A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
D MajorD         E MajorE
For some reason I can't explain
A augmentedA           F# minorF#m       D MajorD   E MajorE
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
     C# minorC#m       F# minorF#m
That was when I ruled the world

D MajorD - E MajorE - A augmentedA - F# minorF#m  x2

(F# minorF#m)         D MajorD  E MajorE
It was the wicked and wild wind
       A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
Blew down the doors to let me in.
             D MajorD    E MajorE
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
    A augmentedA           F# minorF#m
People couldn't believe what I'd become

(F# minorF#m)  D MajorD   E MajorE
Revolutionaries wait
    A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
For my head on a silver plate
          D MajorD   E MajorE
Just a puppet on a lonely string
  A augmentedA             F# minorF#m
Oh who would ever want to be king?

D MajorD       E MajorE
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
D MajorD        E MajorE
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
  A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
D MajorD         E MajorE
For some reason I can't explain
 A augmentedA           F# minorF#m
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
  D MajorD      E MajorE
never an honest word
       C# minorC#m       F# minorF#m
But that was when I ruled the world

D MajorD - F# minorF#m x3
E MajorE x2

D MajorD - E MajorE - A augmentedA - F# minorF#m  x2
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

D MajorD       E MajorE
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
D MajorD        E MajorE
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
  A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
My missionaries in a foreign field
D MajorD         E MajorE
For some reason I can't explain
 A augmentedA           F# minorF#m
I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
  D MajorD      E MajorE
never an honest word
       C# minorC#m        F# minorF#m
But that was when I ruled the world

D MajorD - E MajorE - C# minorC#m - F# minorF#m       and fading...
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
