xsarehardcorex Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I'm sorry, I'm going to have to make a new thread every time I have an idea! Apologies also for the fact that I'm typing these tabs directly into the post. I can't seem to find (read 'pay for') a decent tabbing program that works with mac. Here goes: Strawberry Swing 1st time Coldplay curses (Guy seems to say "its a bit fucked") Tuned 1/2 step down, or tone for you Brits and Europeans. Jonny (w/delay) Eb|-0-2/5-2-0h2-0h2-0-2/5-2-0h2-0h2----------------------------------------------| Bb|---------------------------------------------0-2/5-2-0h2-0h2-0-2/5-2-0h2-0h2--| Gb|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Ab|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Chords sound like Ab Bbm Eb Then Chris joins in on the acoustic for the bridge Bbm Dbm x2 Ab Dbm Bbm D That plays you out, its in classic Chris Martin style, what with the thumb wrapped around the E string and the E and B strings open. Will update as the lightbulb above my head gets brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzling Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I think it's nice to have one thread per song, so keep on going. A quick tip though - change the font to Courier New when posting tabs. This way all the signs have the same width. I normally write the tabs in a editor like notepad or gedit (linux) and then paste it here. I use the code tags when posting chords and lyrics, 'cause for some reason Courier New ignores multiple blanks/spaces: [color=Lime]Am Em D This is a testing thing blablabla[/color] vs Am Em D [no matter how many spaces there are between the chords, you'll end up with just one space when previewing/posting] This is a testing thing blablabla I noticed someone putting dots (...) between the chords, which is another solution: Am........Em............D This is a testing thing blablabla Anyway, I'll check out your above chords later when I have the time (exams, yay).
