¡Viva la Gloria! chords & tabs

INTRO
E  G#m  A  E

VERSE 1
E               G#m              A                                 E
Hey, Gloria, are you standing close to the edge?
                              G#m
Look out at the setting sun
           A                   B
The brink of your vision
E           G#m            A                         E
Eternal youth is a landscape of a lie
                                   G#m
The cracks in my skin can prove
A                             B
As the years will testify

PRE-CHORUS
C#m                               G#m
Say your prayers and light a fire
A                                     E  E/D#
We're gonna start a war
C#m                      G#m
Your slogan's "A gun for hire"
A                      B
It's what we waited for

VERSE 2
E               G#m
Hey, Gloria
                 A                         E
This is why we're on the edge
                             G#m                                   A              E
The fight of our lives' been drawn to this undying love

CHORUS
   E5                        G#5
Gloria! ¡Viva La Gloria!
C#m*                                        A5           
You blast your name in graffiti on the walls
Am                                              E*             B5                   C#m*                 
Falling in broken glass and slashing through your spirits
A5                                        B5*
I can hear it like a jilted crowd
    E5                                  G#5
Gloria! Where are you, Gloria?
C#m*                                             A5
You found a home in all your scars and ammunition
Am                                                E*         B5               C#m*
You made your bed in salad days amongst the ruins
A5                                    B5*
Ashes to ashes of our youth

VERSE 3
E5                               G#5                C#5
She smashed her knuckles into winter (Gloria!)
A5                    E5*                       B5
As autumn's wind fades into black
E5                  G#5                 C#5
She is the saint of all the sinners (Gloria!)
A5                       E5*                            B5
The one that's fallen through the cracks
                 A5*                   B5
So don't put away your burning light

CHORUS
   E5                                    G#5
Gloria! Where are you, Gloria?
C#m*                                         A5
Don't lose your faith to your lost naivete
Am                                                         E*          B5        C#m*
Weather the storm and don't look back on last November
A5                                                          B5*
When your banners were burning down
   E5                        G#5
Gloria! ¡Viva La Gloria!
C#m*                                            A5
Send me your amnesty down to the broken-hearted
Am                                             E*            B5      C#m*
Bring us the season that we always will remember
A5                                       B5*
Don't let the bonfires go out

OUTRO
          A* E*
So, Gloria, 
A*                         E*              A*
Send out your message of the light
             E*                      B      Bsus4  B
That shadows in the night
   A* E*
Gloria, 
A*                           E*
Where's your undying love?
A*                    E*                 B     Bsus4
Tell me the story of your life, 
B       E*
your life!
