FIX YOU TAB PLEASEEEEE

[u2phan]

has anyone tried tabbing Fix You? for guitar or piano?

 

I tried watching the SNL vid a lot, but really i'm no good at this

 

it's such a beautiful song...sniff

 

"tears stream...down your face...and I will fix you"

 

seriously like my favorite Coldplay lyric already

[JG]

ok...tune down the high e string to c, capo on 3rd fret, chords are:

C(332010)

G(320000)

Am(x02210)

F(133210)or(133010)-use your thumb to play the bass F note-

 

Verse :C-G-Am-G

Chorus:F-G

Outro:C-F-C-G

[u2phan]

cool i will try that once i get home from skool

[zibo]

Piano chords are like this (you can play it with the guitar if you want to):

 

Verse: D# - Gm A# - Cm - A#

Chorus: G# - A# x3

Outro: D# - G# - D# - A# - Cm - G# - D# - A#

and the last time: D# - G# - D# - Gm - Cm - G# - D# - A#

then in the end the chorus is repeated once more.

 

Corrections, please! :)

 

EDIT: Oh yeah, just noted that in the end of every verse the chord is A#7 :)

i found this good site for the lead guitar bit

 

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/c/coldplay/fix_you_tab.htm

 

it's excellent, sounds perfect

[Kapone]

for the acoustic you tune the bottom string to D# and then tune the rest of the string to that.

chords are

 

0--0--0

0--7--9

1--8--9

2--9--11

2--9--11

0--7--9

 

thats the beginning bit anyway

[Kapone]

what I meant to say was tune the guitar down half a step

[Square¹]

That guitar line sounds best with the same notes but moved up a string.

 

So it'd be like:

 

|---------------------------------------|

|---------------------------------------|

|--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8/15-15-15\--|

|----------------------------------------|

|----------------------------------------|

|---------------------------------------|

 

|---------------------------|

|---------------------------|

|--8-8-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--|

|---------------------------|
