Was listening to the preview of Prospekt's March earlier and decided to try play it on the guitar.

 

The chords are

 

Verse:

Bm - G - Em - G

 

Chorus:

A - G - A - G - A - G

Thanks!!!!!

Pretty good, thanks ;)

Anyone tabbet out the full version of Prospekt's march? Or do i have to do it myself? :P

I thought you guys might be interested in this for reference.

Absolutely beautiful tnspieler, thank you!

 

By the way I think it's hilarious he is wearing a Don't Mess With Texas Shirt

He plays guitar like me!

 

With his thumb

 

Or do I play guitar like Chris Martin.

Yeah its annoying to try to cover... Im getting better with my thumb. I can effectively mute my top two strings now.

 

Anyone tabbed out the Capo version?

Grabbed the chords from the first post and tried to tab it out. Of course, this is not the way Chris plays it, but it will do the trick for novice guitar players.

 

Corrections welcome :)

 

Bm		2-2-4-4-3-2
G		3-2-0-0-0-3
D		X-X-0-2-3-2
Em		0-2-2-0-0-0
A		0-0-2-2-2-0


Note: The 'D' chord in the verse is just a quick strum as interlude to the next chord.


VERSE:

Bm			   G
 Smoke is risin' from the houses

Bm                     G
 People buryin' their dead

Bm                          G
 I asked somebody what the time is

Bm                                G    D
 But time doesn't matter to them yet

G                        Bm        D
 People talking without speaking 

G                              Bm   D
 Tryin' to take what they can get

G                  Bm
 I ask you if you remember

Em                   G
 Prospekt how could I forget


PRE-CHORUS:

 D
 Drums!

         Bm
 Here it comes!

 G                           
 Don't you wish your life could be as simple

 (G)
 As a fish swimming round in a barrel

      Em             G
 When you've got the gun

          D
 Oh and I run

         Bm
 Here it comes!

            G                      
 We're just two little figures in a soup bowl

 (G)
 Tryin to get beyond a kind of control

     Em       G
 But I wasn't one


CHORUS:

            A                           G
 Now here I lie on my own in a separate sky

            A                           G
 And here I lie on my own in a separate sky

               A
 I don't wanna die

                G
 On my own here tonight

            A                           G
 But here I lie on my own in a separate sky...

the Em in the verse and prechorus should be an E.

Seems as though Chris plays with a Capo on 7, with the little E string tuned to D.

Em7 C X7

"Prospekt how could I forget?"

Dsus2 C

"Drums..."

"Here I lie..."

thanks! well I can't tell how accurate it is 'cause I don't have a capo but yeah sounds good

Those chords don't work on piano, is there any way to transpose to piano?

 

Thanks!

fail.

 

 

 

 

If you're talking about the last tab posted, try taking the capo into account.

Thanks, how do I transpose in account of capo?

The capo brings the pitch of each string up a semitone for each fret its moved up. So for Capo 7, Em7 = Bm7, C = G, Dsus2 = Asus2 and so on... (basically the same as the first post)

Thanks so much, I know it was elementary, but sometimes you just need to learn these things. Song's great and well tabbed.
