Viva La Vida Tab par Coldplay

C - D - G - Em    x2 

(Em)      C        D
I used to rule the world
 G                    Em
Seas would rise when I gave the word
                     C       D
Now in the morning I sleep alone
 G                 Em
Sweep the streets I used to own 

C - D - G - Em    x2 

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

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

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

C - D - G - Em    x2 

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

(Em)     C      D
Revolutionaries wait
 G               Em
For my head on a silver plate
 C      D
Just a puppet on a lonely string
 G                         Em
Oh who would ever want to be king?  

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

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

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

C - D - Bm - Em
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
