Viva La Vida: Chords

Intro: 
      REb  MIb7  LAb  FAm   REb  MIb7  LAb  FAm        

          REb       MIb
I used to rule the world
           LAb                  FAm
Seas would rise when I gave the word
                     REb     MIb
Now in the morning I sweep alone
          LAb               FAm
Sweep the streets I used to own

REb  MIb7  LAb  FAm   REb  MIb7  LAb  FAm

          REb      MIb
I used to roll the dice
         LAb                FAm
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
              REb         MIb
Listen as the crowd would sing:
         LAb                 FAm
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
             REb      MIb
One minute I held the key
         LAb                FAm
Next the walls were closed on me
                         REb     MIb
And I discovered that my castles stand
     LAb                    FAm
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

  REb            MIb
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
LAb           FAm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
REb              MIb
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   LAb               FAm
My missionaries in a foreign field
REb               MIb
For some reason I can't explain
LAb/DO                FAm             REb    MIb
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
     LAb7+                FAm
That was when I ruled the world

REb  MIb7  LAb  FAm   REb  MIb7  LAb  FAm

                      REb   MIb
It was the wicked and wild wind
              LAb             FAm
Blew down the doors to let me in
                          REb      MIb
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
       LAb                   FAm
People couldn't believe what I'd become
         REb    MIb
Revolutionaries wait
       LAb              FAm
For my head on a silver plate
                   REb    MIb
Just a puppet on a lonely string
   LAb                       FAm
Oh who would ever want to be king?

  REb            MIb
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
LAb           FAm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
REb              MIb
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   LAb               FAm
My missionaries in a foreign field
REb               MIb
For some reason I can't explain
LAb/DO                FAm             REb    MIb
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
     LAb7+                FAm
That was when I ruled the world

REb  FAm  REb  FAm  REb  FAm  MIb

            REb  MIb7  LAb  FAm   REb  MIb7  LAb  FAm
Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh...

  REb            MIb
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
LAb           FAm
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
REb              MIb
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
   LAb               FAm
My missionaries in a foreign field
REb               MIb
For some reason I can't explain
  LAb                  FAm             
I know St. Peter won't call my name
         REb    MIb
Never an honest word
             LAb7+            FAm   
But that was when I ruled the world
 
REb  MIb7  LAb  FAm   REb  MIb7  LAb  FAm
