Most people just copy the tabs from the Coldplay song books nd put em up on ultimate guitar and mx tabs and etc lol.

lol? really..... maybe i wont buy the books then then coz some of them dont sound quite right! hehe! oh well its prob just me! :embarrased: :P :embarrased:

the books aren't that accurate but they help a lot. you just have to work out the rest for yourself

im not that good yet! lol! i can only play stuff if its out there note for note for me hehe! ive only been playing about a months u c :)

the books should help you then

Amsterdam is D A E G with the capo on 1.

 

The chorus and outro is E G D A with capo on 1.

 

Not too hard.

 

I also have the things Chris does on the piano in the middle and end of the verses. Here they are in tab form.

 

End of 2nd part of verse

 D    A    E     G

--2---------------3--2--0-----
--3----2----------3--------3--
--2----2----1-----------------
-------2----2-----------------
------------2-----2-----------
------------------3-----------

End of verse

 D        A           E     G

--2-----0--------------------3--
--3--3-----2--2--0-----------3--
--2--------2--------2--1--------
-----------2-----------2--------
-----------------------2-----2--
-----------------------------3--

With No Capo, this is the way I play it (essentially the same above):

 

E -- B -- (F#sus -- F#) -- A

 

play those F#sus and F# Chords in rapid succession...It mimics the movement Chris does on the piano.

it might help if I could read music ^_^()

Anyone know of a place to learn quickly?

well tabs are fairly easy. you just look at the string and then the number shows the fret that your finger has to be in.
