5 ukulele chords used in "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay: Bm, C, D, Em and G
It sounds better if you play it with the minecraft parody lyrics.
whats the strumming pattern?
Personally I think it sounds best if you just strum down and let the chord play until the next one
Honestly, I prefer to play F-G-C-Am, I think it sounds much better.
using cmaj7 (0002) instead of c (0003) in the verses gives a nice vibe, also, gsus2 (0230) works well in place of g (0232) in verse
Use the chords given here, but just put a capo on the first fret! Hope this helps!
whats a good chord to replace Bm with?
Hey people the strumming pattern is DDDDUUUDD
I think +3 sounds the best and the chords are pretty easy! 🙂
What should dod to play along with the real song? I don’t think it is the right chords to fit up.
D DU UDU
Guys!!! +5 is the easiest for beginners!

F G Em Am sounds the best to me personally, might not be the actual key of the song, but this is how i enjoy playing it the most
what a bootiful song to play
Just had an idea for the first verse that relates to the pandemic:
In 2020 I ruled the world
Cases would rise when I gave the word
And in the morning I take a test
To see if I’m covid positive
Lol it’s so cringey
Love this song so much. It sounds really good
Just go -2 and bam sounds good
I think the absolute best strum for this song would be dddd(switchsuperquickly)uuudd
