Love of the Common People
Paul Young
[G]Living on free food tickets, water in the milk from a hole in the roof
Where the [F]rain came through, what can you [C]do [D]
[G]Tears from your little sister
Crying because she doesn't have a dress without a patch
For the [F]party to go oh but you know [C]she'll get [D]by
'Cos she's [G]living in the love of the [C]common people
[G]Smiles from the heart of a [D]family man
[G]Daddy's gonna buy her a [C]dream to cling to
[G]Mama's gonna love her just as [D]much as she can, and she [G]can
It's a [G]good thing you don't have a bus fare
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the [F]snow on the ground
You got to walk into [C]town to find a [D]job
[G]Tryin' to keep your hands warm
When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
And [F]chills you to the bone
So now you'd better go [C]home where it's [D]warm
You can [G]live in the love of the [C]common people
[G]Smiles from the heart of a [D]family man
[G]Daddy's gonna buy you a [C]dream to cling to
[G]Mama's gonna love you just as [D]much as she can, and she [G]can
[G]Living on a dream ain't easy but the closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the [F]chills stay away you take 'em in [C]stride for family [D]pride
You know that [G]faith is your foundation
Whole lot of love and a warm conversation
But [F]don't forget to pray just make it [C]strong where you be[D]long
So you can [G]live in the love of the [C]common people
[G]Smiles from the heart of a [D]family man
[G]Daddy's gonna buy you a [C]dream to cling to
[G]Mama's gonna love you just as [D]much as she can, and she [G]can
[G]Living in the love of the [C]common people
[G]Smiles from the heart of a [D]family man
[G]Daddy's gonna buy you a [C]dream to cling to
[G]Mama's gonna love you just as [D]much as she can, and she [G]can

Viva La Vida
Coldplay
[Verse 1]
I used to [F] rule the [G] world, Seas would [C] rise when I gave the [Am] word
Now in the morning I [F] sleep a-[G]lone, Sweep the [C] streets I used to [Am] own
[Verse 2]
I used to [F] roll the [G] dice, Feel the [C] fear in my enemy's [Am] eyes
Listen as the [F] crowd would [G] sing, "Now the [C] old king is dead! Long [Am] live the king!"
One minute I [F] held the [G] key, Next the [C] walls were closed on [Am] me
And I discovered that my [F] castles [G] stand, Upon [C] pillars of salt and [Am] pillars of sand
|[Chorus]
|I [F] hear Jerusalem [G] bells are ringing, [C] Roman Cavalry [Am] choirs are singing
|[F] Be my mirror, my [G] sword, and shield, My [C] missionaries in a [Am] foreign field
|[F]For some reason I [G] can't explain, [C] Once you go there was [Am] never,
|never an [F] honest [G] word, That was [C] when I ruled the [Am] world
[Verse 3]
It was the wicked and [F] wild [G] wind, Blew down the [C] doors to let me [Am] in.
Shattered windows and the [F] sound of [G] drums,
People [C] couldn't believe what [Am] I'd become
Revolutio-[F]-naries [G] wait, For my [C] head on a silver [Am] plate
Just a puppet on a [F] lonely [G] string, Oh [C] who would ever want to be [Am] king?
|[Chorus]
|I [F] hear Jerusalem [G] bells are ringing, [C] Roman Cavalry [Am] choirs are singing
|[F] Be my mirror, my [G] sword, and shield, My [C] missionaries in a [Am] foreign field
|[F] For some reason I [G] can't explain, I [C] know Saint Peter will [Am] call my name,
|never an [F] honest [G] word, But that was [C] when I ruled the [Am] world
o-o-o-oh o-[F]ohhh [G] ohh o-o-o-oh o-[C]ohhh [Am] ohh
o-o-o-oh o-[F]ohhh [G] ohh o-o-o-oh o-[C]ohhh [Am] ohh
