Viva La Vida

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

F G C Em

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

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

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

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

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

Chorus (x2) 
 F                 G
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
C               Em
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
F                 G
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
C                     Em
My missionaries in a foreign field
F                    G
For some reason I can't explain
C                    Em
Once you go there was never
           F       G
Never an honest word
               C                  Em
And that was when I ruled the world
