Capo: 1

Viva la Vida STANDARD TUNING - CAPO 1 INTRO: C - D - G - Em x2 (Em) C D I used to rule the world

Seas would ^Grise when I gave the ^Emword Now in the morning I ^Csweep al^Done Sweep the ^Gstreets I used to ^Emown

C - D - G - Em x2 (Em) C D I used to roll the dice

Feel the f^Gear in my enemy's ^Emeyes Listen as the ^Ccrowd would s^Ding: "Now ^Gthe old king is de^Emad! Long live the king!"

(Em) C D One minute I held the key

Next the ^Gwalls were closed on ^Emme And I discovered that my c^Castles st^Dand Upon ^Gpillars of salt and p^Emillars of sand

I ^Chear Jerusalem ^Dbells are ringing ^GRoman Cavalry ^Emchoirs are singing ^CBe my mirror, my ^Dsword, and shield My ^Gmissionaries in a ^Emforeign field ^CFor some reason I ^Dcan't explain ^GOnce you go there was ^Emnever, never an ^Chonest ^Dword That was ^Bmwhen I ruled the ^Emworld

C - D - G - Em x2 (Em) C D It was the wicked and wild wind

Blew down the ^Gdoors to let me ^Emin. Shattered windows and the ^Csound of ^Ddrums People ^Gcouldn't believe what^Em I'd become

(Em) C D Revolutionaries wait

For my h^Gead on a silver ^Emplate Just a puppet on a ^Clonely ^Dstring Oh ^Gwho would ever want to be ^Emking?

C - D - G - Em x2 (Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

I ^Chear Jerusalem ^Dbells are ringing ^GRoman Cavalry ^Emchoirs are singing ^CBe my mirror, my ^Dsword, and shield My ^Gmissionaries in a ^Emforeign field ^CFor some reason I ^Dcan't explain I ^Gknow Saint Peter will ^Emcall my name , nev^Cer an honest ^Dword But that was w^Bmhen I ruled the wo^Emrld
