I was just wondering what chords Chris is playing in the awesome intro to "Don't Panic" in this video:

Don't Panic Live Chords

 

Oh! :) I figured this out awhile ago from watching another performance. I remember staying up late to decipher the chords being used.... :dozey:

 

Owww man, there used to be a link for that other performance which shows Chris strumming, but it's not there anymore. :\

 

Anyway, the chords at the beginning are =

 

Dmadd11

e- 0

B- 6

G- 7

D- 7

A- 5

E- x

 

Am

e- 5

B- 5

G- 5

D- 7

A- 7

E- 5

 

And then....

 

G

e- 3

B- 3

G- 4

D- 5

A- 5

E- 3

 

F

e- 1

B- 1

G- 2

D- 3

A- 3

E- 1

 

Fmaj7

e- x

B- 1

G- 0

D- 3

A- 3

E- 1

 

So basically the order is:

Dmadd11, Am

Dmadd11, Am

Dmadd11, Am

Dmadd11, Am

Dmadd11, Am, G <<<< (Jonny's riff comes in)

Dmadd11, Am, G

Dmadd11, Am, G, F, Fmaj7, F, Fmaj7, F, Fmaj7, F, Fmaj7, F ....

 

~* Hopefully that helps and isn't too confusing....*~
