Viva La Vida Harmonica Tab (Lower Version)
4 5 5 5…. -5 -4
I used to rule the world
-4 4 -4 4 -4 5 4 -3 -3”
Seas would rise when I gave the word
4 5 5 5 5 5 -5 -4
Now in the morning I sleep alone
-4 4 -4 4 -4 5 4 -3 -3”
Sweep the streets I used to own
4 5 5 5…. -5 -4
I used to roll the dice
-4 4 -4 4 -4 5 4 -3 -3”
See the fears in my enemies eyes
5 5 5 5 5 -5 -4
Listen as the crowd would sing
4 5 -4 4 4 5 -4 44
Now the old king is dead long live the king
6 -6 -6 -6 5 6
One minute I held the key
6 6 6 5 6-5 5
Next the walls would close on me
5 5 5 5 5 5 -5 -4
And I discovered that my castle stands
4 5 -4 4 4 5 -4 44
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
4 -6 -6 -6 6 -6 6 -4 5 -5
I hear Jurasalem bells are ringing
6 6 6 5 6 5 -3” -3 4
Roman Cavarly choirs are singing
-6 -6 -6 6 -6 6-4 5 -5
Be my mirror my sword my shield
-4 6 6 6 5 6 5-3” -3 4
My missionaries in a foreign field
-6 -6 -6 6 -6 -7 -7
For some reason I can’t explain
6 6 6-5 555
I know St Peter won’t call my name
5 5 5 -5 -4
Never an honest word
4 -4 4 -4 4 5 -3” 4
But that was when I ruled the world

I used to rule the world.
-8 6 -8 -8 7 8 6 -6
Seas would rise when I gave the word.
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 -9 -8
Now in the morn-ing I sweep a-lone.
-8 6 -8 -8 -8 8 7 -7 -6
Sweep the streets I used to o–w–n.
8 8 8 8 -9 -8
I used to roll the dice.
-8 6 -8 -8 6 -8 -8 8 7 -7-6
Feel the fear in my e-ne-my’s e-y-es.
8 8 8 8 8 -9 -8
Lis-ten as the crowd would sing.
7 7 8 -8 7 7
“Now the old king is dead!
7 8 -8 7 7
Long live the kin-g!”
-10 -10 -10 -10 -10 8 9
One mi-nute I held the key.
9 9 9 7 9 -8 8
Next the walls were closed on me.
6 8 8 8 8 8
And I di-sco-vered that
8 8 -9 -8
my ca-stles stand.
7 7 8 -8 7 7 8
U-pon pil-lars of salt and
-8 7 7 -7
pil-lars of sand.
7 -10 -10 -10 9 -10 9 -8 8 -9
I hear Je-ru-sa-lem bells a ring-ing.
9 9 9 8 9 8 -6 -7 7
Ro-man Ca-val-ry choirs are sing-ing.
-10 -10 -10 9 -10 9 -8 8 -9
Be my mir-ror, my sword, and shie-ld.
8 9 8 9 9 8 9 8 -6 -7 7
My mis-sio-nar-ies in a fo-reign fie-ld.
9 9 9 -9 9 -10 -10 -10
For some rea-son I can’t ex-plain.
9 9 9 9 9 -9 8
Once you go, there was ne-ver.
-9 8 8 8 -9 -8
Ne-ver an ho-nest word.

That was when

I ruled the world.
