Viva la vida

Intro: C D G Em x 2

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

Mellan: C D G Em x 2

C D G Em x Flera

 

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear
in my enemy’s eyes
Listen as the
crowd would sing:
Now the old king is dead
Long live the king

 

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

 

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

 

Ooooh oh oh oh

 

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

 

Refr: I hear Jerusalem…

(…I know S’t Peter..)
