Can someone put up an accurate tab of Shiver and A Message (Album)? I spent a whole hour lookin for the "A Message" tab, and found the Japan version (which I won't do because I'm not snapping my damn strings), and not the Capo 1 version because it isn't right. Everyone's been asking for it, so give it to em!

Kapone's A message tab is accurate.

 

A MESSAGE (ACOUSTIC)

 

Don't try to play along to the record with this because this is played down half a step. You can play along to the Japanese Acoustic Session though. I'll do the album version later on...

 

Tuning: EADGCC

Thanks dmuse, but I'm talking about the album version. If it's the same chords, then I tried this tuning EADGGC and Capo on 1st. It sounds about the same with the album.

oh right! I should have read it properly :P but most of the tabs online are like that. Really need Kapone to come back onto Coldplaying!

Does anyone know what happened? Did he just get overwhelmed? Btw, A Message with that tuning sounds pretty damn accurate to the album.

The tuning of the album version of A Message is:

F Bb Eb Ab Ab Db

 

The chords are the same than the Japanese Acoustic Session.

They're already here.

does someone have the chords for wedding bells? i would really love to play that song :)

  • 2 months later...

Hurts like Heaven? Charlie Brown? Every Teardrop is a Waterfall? for acoustic guitar?

  • 1 month later...

Just a note for those with small hands and struggle with using your thumb, to play We Never Change, if you tune your G string to F#, you need note use your thumb at all.

kapone, come back ! We need you on the new album.

All of Mylo Xyloto tabs on web is rubbish. Do you know this great cover of Major Minus? I cant find some good tabs on it.

Can't be arsed to tab it out but I've made a vid showing how, learned it from watching chris live and Im fairly sure its 100%. It's uploading now so I'll post it in a bit :)

 

Also I've found a really good way to play Green Eyes, sounds exactly like the record. Sounds the same as Kapone's version but much easier to play as it's mostly easy chord shapes. Use thumb for the F.

Structure, sorry if its confusing, it's easy enough to work out by listening if you dont understand it.

 

Verse:

1, 2, 3, 4

 

Architechtured:

3, 2, 1, 2, 6, 3, 6, 5, 1, 2, 1

 

Quiet bit:

3, 2, 1, 6, 5, 1, 2, 3......... 3, 2, 1, 6, 5, 1, 2, 3.......... 6, 3, 6, 5, 1, 2, 1

 

 

Here's Chris playing it so you can get a better idea of how it's done without all the background.

No worries, just corrected the violet hill one, I mixed up the architechtured bit.

 

Not sure if these have been posted before but I've found perfect tabs for "Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground" and "Us Against The World".

 

I'll do life in technicolour II if anyone wants it, it's EADGCC, same as violet hill and the chord shapes are exactly the same, just Am shape mostly moved around the neck.

of course we wants it. Im searching for this tab almost a year

Sure thang. Watch this for reference, it's the same on the CD.
