Viva La Vida (para Gaita)

8 8 8 8 -9 -8  
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.  
-9 -8 -7  
That was when  
7 8 -7 7  
I ruled the world.
