Coldplay, Viva La Vida (2008)
^{Key: :[A#m] (w: Coldplay)}

INTRO: [Gb] [Ab] [Db] [A#m] : [x2]

VERSE 1:
I used to [Gb] rule the [Ab] world
Seas would [Db] rise when I gave the [A#m] word
Now in the morning I [Gb] sleep a-[Ab]-lone
Sweep the [Db] streets I used to [A#m] own

BREAK: [Gb] [Ab] [Db] [A#m] : [x2]

VERSE 2:
I used to [Gb] roll the [Ab] dice
Feel the [Db] fear in my enemy's [A#m] eyes
Listen as the [Gb] crowd would [Ab] sing
"Now the [Db] old king is dead, [A#m] long live the king"

VERSE 3:
One minute I [Gb] held the [Ab] key
Next the [Db] walls were closed on [A#m] me
And I discovered that my [Gb] castles [Ab] stand
Upon [Db] pillars of salt and pil-[A#m]-lars of sand

CHORUS:
I [Gb] hear Jerusalem [Ab] bells are ringing
[Db] Roman Cavalry [A#m] choirs are singing
[Gb] Be my mirror, my [Ab] sword, and shield
My [Db] missionaries in a [A#m] foreign field

CHORUS 2:
[Gb] For some reason I [Ab] can't explain
[Db] Once you go there was [A#m] never
never an ho-[Gb]-nest [Ab] word
That was [Fm] when I ruled the [A#m] world

BREAK: [Gb] [Ab] [Db] [A#m] : [x2]

VERSE 4:
It was the wicked and [Gb] wild [Ab] wind
Blew down the [Db] doors to let me [A#m] in
Shattered windows and the [Gb] sound of [Ab] drums
People [Db] couldn't believe what [A#m] I'd become

VERSE 5:
Revolution-[Gb]-aries [Ab] wait
For my [Db] head on a silver [A#m] plate
Just a puppet on a [Gb] lonely [Ab] string
Oh [Db] who would ever want to be [A#m] king?

REPEAT CHORUS 1 & 2:

INSTRUMENTAL:
[Gb] [A#m] // [Gb] [A#m] // [Gb] [A#m] // [Ab] [Ab]

BRIDGE:
Whooa [Gb] ooh [Ab] ooh [Db] ooh [A#m] ohh : [x2]

REPEAT CHORUS 1 & 2:

OUTRO:
Whooa [Gb] ooh [Ab] ooh [Db] ooh [A#m] ohh : [x3]
