this is my attempt to cover Coldplays'
Newest single, Viva la Vida (In the video I play D#7 instead of D#) enjoy

VERSE 1

----------C#--------D#
i used to rule the world
-----------G#--------------------Fm
seas would rise when i gave the word

----------------------C#----D#
now in the morning I sleep alone
------------G#--------------Fm
sweep the streets i used to own

----------C#-------D#
i used to roll the dice

---------G#------------------Fm
feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

---------------C#-----------D#
listen as the crowd would sing
---------G#---------
now the old king is dead
Fm-------
long live the king

-------------C#--------D#
one minute I held the key
----------G#-----------------Fm
next the walls were closed on me
and i discovered that

---C#--------D#
my castles stand
-----G#--------------Fm
upon pillars of salt pillars of sand

CHORUS

--C#---------------D#
I hear jerusalem bells a ringing

G#------------Fm
roman cavelry choirs a singing

C#---------------D#
Be my mirror my sword and shield

---G#----------------Fm
my missionary in a foreign field

C#------------------D#
For some reason I cant explain
G#--------------------------Fm
Once you've gone there was never

---C#-----D#
an honest word

----------G#------------Fm
that was when i ruled the world

Verse 2
it was a 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've become
reveloutionary's wait for my head on a silver plate
just a puppet on a lonely string
oh who would ever wanna be king

Chorus
i hear jerusalem bells a ringing
roman cavalry choirs a singing
be my mirror my sword and shield
my missionaries in a foreign field
for some reason i cant explain
i know st.peter will call my name
never an honest word
but that was when i ruled the world

Coldplay - Violet Hill

alt/video here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8zKtcKCaG8 •> 'dancing politicians' imagery to song (video by Mat Whitecross)

Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops i remember
There was snow
White snow

Clearly i remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below

When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low

If you love me
Won't you let me know?

Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fox
Became God

Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft

Bury me in armour
When i'm dead and hit the ground
A love back home unfolds

If you love me
Won't you let me know?

I don't want to be a soldier
That a captain of some sinking ship
Would stow, far below

So if you love me
Why'd you let me go?

I took my love down to violet hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still

So if you love me
Won't you let me know?

If you love me,
Won't you let me know?
