Viva La Vida, or Death and All His Friends
(transposed from D♯m)
Dm F Am Dm
At night they would go walking till the breaking of the day,
F Am
The morning is for sleeping.
Dm F Am Dm
Through the dark streets they'd go searching to see God in their own way.
F Am
Save the nighttime for your weeping!
Dm
Your weeping.
Dm C Dm
Singing la la la la la la lay,
F Am Dm
And the night over London, hey.
Dm F Am Dm
So we rode down to the river where the toiling ghosts spring
F Am
For their curses to be broken.
Dm F Am Dm
We'll go underneath the arches where the witches are in the sea -
F Am
There are ghost towns in the ocean,
Dm
The ocean.
Dm C Dm
Singing la la la la la la lay.
F Am Dm
And the night over London, hey.
Solo:

Dm F Am Dm
God in the houses, and God is in my head,
F Am
And all the cemeteries in London.
Dm F Am Dm
I see God come in my garden, but I don't know what he'd say
F Am
For my heart it wasn't open,
Dm
Not open
Dm C Dm
Singing la la la la la la lay,
F Am Dm
And the night over London, hey.
Dm C Dm
Singing la la la la la la lay,
F Am Dm
There's no light over London today.
