How to play Viva La Vida by Coldplay on guitar
These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 1 you play Em, C, D, G, the shapes the player above shows.
The chart has four main chords: D#, Fm, G# and C#. All of them are usually barre chords, so check whether a capo gives you easier shapes. The change you will play most is Fm to C#, 31 times in the chart, so practise that one first. It runs at about 138 beats a minute.
Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
