Coldplay is a British alternative rock band formed in London in 1996. The band's singer/pianist Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion, met at University College London and came together from 1996 to 1998. During these two years, the band changed names from Pectoralz to Starfish and, finally, to Coldplay. Creative director and former manager Phil Harvey is often referred to as the fifth member by the band.

Viva La Vida Coldplay Standard Tuning Key:D This is a deeper version, for those without a high vocal range.
INTRO: G - A - D - Bm x2
BmGA I used to rule the world DBm Seas would rise when I gave the word GA Now in the morning I sleep alone DBm Sweep the streets I used to own
G - A - D - Bm x2
BmGA I used to roll the dice DBm Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes GA Listen as the crowd would sing: DBm "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
BmGA One minute I held the key DBm Next the walls were closed on me GA And I discovered that my castles stand DBm Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
GA I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing DBm Roman Cavalry choirs are singing GA Be my mirror, my sword, and shield DBm My missionaries in a foreign field GA For some reason I can't explain DBmGA Once you go there was never, never an honest word F#mBm That was when I ruled the world
G - A - D - Bm x2
BmGA It was the wicked and wild wind DBm Blew down the doors to let me in. GA Shattered windows and the sound of drums DBm People couldn't believe what I'd become
BmGA Revolutionaries wait DBm For my head on a silver plate GA Just a puppet on a lonely string DBm Oh who would ever want to be king?
GA I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing DBm Roman Cavalry choirs are singing GA Be my mirror, my sword, and shield DBm My missionaries in a foreign field GA For some reason I can't explain DBm I know Saint Peter won't call my name , GA never an honest word F#mBm But that was when I ruled the world
G - Bm x3 A x2
G - A - D - Bm x2 (Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
GA I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing DBm Roman Cavalry choirs are singing GA Be my mirror, my sword, and shield DBm My missionaries in a foreign field GA For some reason I can't explain DBm I know Saint Peter won't call my name , GA never an honest word F#mBm But that was when I ruled the world
G - A - F#m - Bm and fading... Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
