[Gb] [Db]
[Ab] And he's learned the song Viva La Vida by Coldplay.
He's learned it, he's been practicing
for months.
The only problem is he has to play it very slowly.
So let's play Viva La Vida,
but see how he [Db] does.
Okay, Johnny, you ready for your [Ebm] debut?
[Ab] Live on radio.
Okay, everyone, give him some [Fm] space.

[Db] [Ab]
[Fm] It was a wicked [Db] wild [Eb] wind,

The [Fm] shadow windows and the sound
of [Ab] drums.
[Bb]
People [Cm] couldn't believe what I've [F] become.
Never [Db] should have this [Eb] way.
[Ab] For my head on a [Fm] silver plate, I'm just a puppet [Db] on a lonely [Bb] string.
[Ab] Oh, who would ever want [Fm] to be king?
[Db] Now I hear Jerry [Eb] Silverbells a-ringing,
[Ab] [Fm] Rosy choirs a-singing.
[Db] Viva la vida, [Eb] my soul to shield,
[Ab] missionaries [Fm] in a fire I will field.
[Db] For some reason [Eb] I can't explain,
[Ab] I know St.
Peter [Fm] will call my name.
[Db] Never an honest [Eb] word.
That [Ab] was when I ruled [Fm] the world.
[Db] [Fm]
Your [Db] turn coming up.
