the acoustic I just worked out on Square One. Its pretty simple...

 

0---0---0----0

5---2---9----7

6---2---9----8

7---4---11---9

7---4---11---9

5---2---9----7

 

 

I know that these are definatly the chords used. Chris never uses bar chords. Its always his thumb so learn to do that if you want to learn any Coldplay.

son of a bitch. I'm guessing you have to use your thumb? my hand's too small :'(

 

I'll just stick to power & barre chords :)

Here it is in this post...just created a topic for it though...

Excellent job with kingdom come, Will Foster!!!!!!! :)

 

t-bone

Alot of it sounds good, but the "For you id wait part..." is not.. I saw chris on aol.com playing it on a concert... i dont know how to tab, but using your same tuning the chord should be:

 

EAGCBE

 

887008 OR

087008

 

I dunno... I just remember seeing chris move down to play it instead of playing Fmaj... Check it out. thoughts?

 

Thanks btw! :)

C/D 050030

F 080060 or 087068
