Misc Originals – Adam Zettel - Viva Cristo Rey (Guitar)

D                       A
This is the war cry you hear on the streets

        G                     A
And all over the face of the earth

     D                       A
The soldiers are ready they take up their swords

       G                          A
And enlist to go all through the world

     D              A                Bm
For this they have trained and made ready

    G                      A
To fight to defend what is true

     D              A              Bm
The fire in their hearts burning steady

     G                         A
That your love has enkindled anew

            D          A      Bm
Viva Cristo Rey! Viva Cristo Rey!

        G       A
The battle-cry echoing down through the centuries

D      A     Bm
Viva Cristo Rey!

G       A
He is our Sovereign Lord

G       A
Our champion and our reward

G       A               D      A
To fight for him is what we're living for

D                       A
We have found no joy or happiness greater

      G                   A
There is no more noble desire

D                           A
Then here with my brothers here with my sisters

   G                      A
Together to lay down our lives

     D         A          Bm
To him who recruited his soldiers

    G                        A
By means of the blood he outpoured

   D             A          Bm
Before him will ev’ry knee bow down

    G                       A
And everyone’s heart will adore

            D          A      Bm
Viva Cristo Rey! Viva Cristo Rey!

We know there's a price to be paid in this battle

     G                A
And many will cower away

     D                A
And under the enemy's arrows they perish

     G                   A
For fear has led them astray

    D          A           Bm
But I hold my weapon with pride

     G                          A
The same one that's held by my Lord

           D            A         Bm
For the Strength in his arm is of God

     G                     A
The victory’s his in this war

            D          A      Bm
