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.

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).
