Viva Cristo Rey! English Version by Fr Adam Zettel LC [Intro] E5 EMaj7 E5 EMaj7 [Verse 1]
E                       Bsus
This is the war cry you hear on the streets

        A2                   Bsus
And all over the face of the Earth

     E                    Bsus
The soldiers are ready to take up their swords

       A2                        Bsus
And enlist to go all through the world

     E             Bsus/D#            C#m
For this they have trained and made ready

   A2                       Bsus
To fight to defend what is true

     E            Bsus/D#          C#m
The fire in their hearts burning steady

          A2                 Bsus
That your love has enkindled anew
[Chorus]
             E        Bsus   C#m
Viva Cristo Rey! Viva Cristo Rey!

     A2                Bsus
The battle-cry echoing down through the centuries

E      Bsus   C#m
  Viva Cristo Rey!

A2                  Bsus
He is our Sovereign Lord

      A2               Bsus
Our champion and our reward

    A2           Bsus  N.C.
To fight for him       is what we're living for
E5 EMaj7 [Verse 2]
E                              Bsus
We have found no joy or happiness greater

      A2                       Bsus
There is no more noble desire

      E                      Bsus
Then here with my brothers here with my sisters

   A2                               Bsus
Together to lay down our lives

    E          Bsus       C#m
To him who recruited his soldiers

    A2                   Bsus
By means of the blood he outpoured

   E            Bsus        C#m
Before him will every knee bow down

    A2      Bsus
And everyone’s heart will adore
[Chorus]
             E        Bsus   C#m
Viva Cristo Rey! Viva Cristo Rey!

     A2            Bsus
The battle-cry echoing down through the centuries

E      Bsus   C#m
  Viva Cristo Rey!

A2              Bsus
He is our Sovereign Lord

      A2                    Bsus
Our champion and our reward

    A2           Bsus  N.C.
To fight for him       is what we're living for
E5 EMaj7 [Verse 2]
E                                     Bsus
We know there's a price to be paid in this battle

     A2              Bsus
And many will cower away

    E                         Bsus
And under the enemy's arrows they perish

     A2                     Bsus
For fear has led them astray

    E          Bsus         C#m
But I hold my weapon with pride

     A2                             Bsus
The same one that's held by my Lord

          E             Bsus       C#m
For the Strength in his arm is of God

     A2                         Bsus
The victory is his in this war
[Chorus]
             E        Bsus   C#m
Viva Cristo Rey! Viva Cristo Rey!

     A2            Bsus
The battle-cry echoing down through the centuries

E      Bsus   C#m
  Viva Cristo Rey!

He is our Sovereign Lord

      A2                    Bsus
