How to play "Coldplay - Viva la vida" on ukulele

Hi. I'm showing you here how to play the fantastic song "Viva la vida" from Coldplay on ukulele. Just play the chords displayed in the left upper corner ;-). Notice that you'll see several options to play some chords especially at the verse and especially for the 2nd and 4th chord. You can choose by yourself when to play which variation of a chord. Have fun :-).

was it in GCEA tune?

[DerMoppelt]

@Tennsen yes.

Hey, I'm a begginer, and I wanted to know the strumming pattern and the Chords.

[DerMoppelt]

@LionsInSailorSuits As you can see, the rhythm goes like: d . d . d . d u . u . u d . d .

(d = downstroke, u = upstroke)

The easiest way to play the chords is to look in the left upper corner of my video.

The chords are some variations of: B C F Dm

Some variations are: B7+, C7, Csus4, Dmsus2 and C is replaced by Am7 sometimes. Note, that the original key is Ab major so you'll have Db Eb Ab Fm instead. Let me know if this was helpful. Good luck :-)
