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.

This is a version of Viva La Vida i wrote to make it sound a bit more happy and more fun to play on the ukulele
Intro: F, G, C, Am x2
(Am) FG I used to rule the world CAm Seas would rise when I gave the word FG Now in the morning I sleep alone CAm Sweep the streets I used to own
F, G, C, Am x2
(Am) FG I used to roll the dice CAm Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes FG Listen as the crowd would sing CAm Now the old king is dead Long live the king FG One minute I held the key CAm Next the walls were closed on me FG And I discovered that my castle stands CAm Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Chorus: FG I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing CAm Roman Cavalry choirs are singing FG Be my mirror my sword and shield CAm My missionaries in a foreign field FG For some reason I can't explain CAm Once you go there was never FG Never an honest word CAm That was when I ruled the world
F, G, C, Am x2
Verse: (Am) FG It was the wicked and wild wind CAm Blew down the doors to let me in FG Shattered windows and the sound of drums CAm People couldn't believe what I'd become FG Revolutionaries wait CAm For my head on a silver plate FG Just a puppet on a lonely string CAm Oh who would ever want to be king
Chorus: FG I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing CAm Roman Cavalry choirs are singing FG Be my mirror my sword and shield CAm My missionaries in a foreign field FG For some reason I can't explain CAm I know Saint Peter will call my name FG Never an honest word CAm That was when I ruled the world
F, Am x2 G,G,G,G x2
FGCAm Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh x
Chorus: FG I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing CAm Roman Cavalry choirs are singing FG Be my mirror my sword and shield CAm My missionaries in a foreign field FG For some reason I can't explain CAm I know Saint Peter will call my name FG Never an honest word CAm That was when I ruled the world
