VIVA LA VIDA

INTRO:
C D G Em

Em C DI used to rule the world
G EmSeas would rise when I gave the word
C DNow in the morning I sleep alone
G EmSweep the streets I used to own


C D G Em

Em C DI used to roll the dice
G EmFeel the fear in my enemy's eyes
C DListen as the crowd would sing:
G Em"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
Em C DOne minute I held the key
G EmNext the walls were closed on me
C DAnd I discovered that my castles stand
G EmUpon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
C DI hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G EmRoman Cavalry choirs are singing
C DBe my mirror, my sword, and shield
G EmMy missionaries in a foreign field
C DFor some reason I can't explain
G Em C DOnce you go there was never, never an honest word
Bm EmThat was when I ruled the world


C D G Em

Em C DIt was the wicked and wild wind
G EmBlew down the doors to let me in.
C DShattered windows and the sound of drums
G EmPeople couldn't believe what I'd become
Em C DRevolutionaries wait
G EmFor my head on a silver plate
C DJust a puppet on a lonely string
G EmOh who would ever want to be king?
C DI hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G EmRoman Cavalry choirs are singing
C DBe my mirror, my sword, and shield
G EmMy missionaries in a foreign field
C DFor some reason I can't explain
G EmI know Saint Peter will call my name ,
C Dnever an honest word
Bm EmBut that was when I ruled the world
C Em

C D G Em(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
C DI hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
G EmRoman Cavalry choirs are singing
C DBe my mirror, my sword, and shield
G EmMy missionaries in a foreign field
C DFor some reason I can't explain
G EmI know Saint Peter will call my name ,
C Dnever an honest word
Bm EmBut that was when I ruled the world
C D Bm Em and fading...
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
