Viva la vida

[Intro]
F  G  C  Am    2x


[Verse]
(Am)      F        G
I used to rule the world
           C    
  Seas would rise
                 Am
when I gave the word
                     F       G
Now in the morning I sleep alone
          C                 Am
Sweep the streets I used to own


[Interlude]
F  G  C  Am   2x


[Verse]
(Am)      F         G
I used to roll the dice
          C                 Am
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
              F            G
Listen as the crowd would sing:
          C                
  "Now the old king is dead!
  Am
Long live the king!"


[Verse]
(Am)         F        G
One minute I held the key
         C                    Am
Next the walls were closed on me
                 
  And I discovered
          F        G
that my castles stand
     C               
  Upon pillars of salt
      Am
and pillars of sand


[Chorus]
  F              G
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
C             Am
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
F                G
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   C                 Am
My missionaries in a foreign field
F                 G
For some reason I can't explain
C                     Am     
  Once you go there was never,
          F      G
never an honest word
         C                Am
That was when I ruled the world


[Interlude]
F  G  C  Am    2x


[Verse]
(Am)                  F     G
It was the wicked and wild wind
              C               Am
Blew down the doors to let me in.
                  
  Shattered windows
         F        G
and the sound of drums
       C                
  People couldn't believe
     Am
what I'd become


[Verse]
(Am)     F      G
Revolutionaries wait
        C               Am
For my head on a silver plate
                   F      G
Just a puppet on a lonely string
   C                         Am
Oh who would ever want to be king?


[Chorus]
  F              G
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
C             Am
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
F                G
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   C                 Am
My missionaries in a foreign field
F                 G
For some reason I can't explain
  C                
  I know Saint Peter
      Am
will call my name ,
   F            G
never an honest word
              Em  
  But that was when
              Am
I ruled the world


[Bridge]
F Am 3x
G  2x


[Interlude]
F  G  C  Am        2x
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)


[Chorus]
  F              G
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
C             Am
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
F                G
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   C                 Am
My missionaries in a foreign field
F                 G
For some reason I can't explain
  C                
  I know Saint Peter
      Am
will call my name ,
   F            G
never an honest word
              C   
  But that was when
               Am
I ruled the world
