Viva Forever
By the Spice Girls
From the album Spice World
Written by the Spice Girls (Emma,Geri,Victoria,MelB,MelC), Richard Stannard & Matt Rowe

There are only four chords throughout the song. Bbm should theoretically be
Bb7, but Bbm sounds better to my ears. Use barre chords instead of open position chords,
it will make it a lot easier. Here are the chords…
Chords:
D#m, Bbm, B, F#
That’s it…just reapeat the chords…listen to the album
for the beat and the rhythm.
In case anyone is interested, the solo is in D#m…using the Aeolian mode or
the «Spanish-Gypsy» scale (5th mode of the harmonic minor scale) works great
with this song.
Here are the lyrics:
Verse:
Do you still remember how we used to be
Feeling together believe in whatever
My love has said to me
Both of us were dreamers
Young love in the sun
Felt like my saviour my spirit I gave you
We’d only just begun
Pre-Chorus:
Hasta manana always be mine
Chorus:
Viva forever I’ll be waiting
Everlasting like the sun
Live forever for the moment
Ever searching for the one
Yes I still remember every whispered word
The touch of your skin giving life from within
Like a love song never heard
Slipping through our fingers like the sands of time
Promises made every memory saved
Has refelections in my mind
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Solo
Back where I belong now was it just a dream
Feelings unfold they will never be sold
And the secret’s safe with me
Pre-Chorus
Chorus 4 times
end on F#

One last note…this will sound better if played with a nylon
string acoustic.
