RAINY DAY
COLDPLAY

Album: PROSPEKT'S MARCH

Tabbed by Nicolás Levy Renaud ([email protected])

STANDARD TUNING - CAPO 1

INTRO: D - G  Repeat 8 times.

VERSE 1:
               D
Then there was rain
    G                  D
The sky wore a veil of gold and green 
   G                             D
At night it was the bright of the moon with me 
 G                 D        G
Time is just floating

VERSE 2: 
              D
Then there was rain 
     G                   D
The sound foundations are crumbling 
           G                        D
Through the ground comes a bit of a-tumbling 
   G                      D
And time was just floating away 
                     G
We can watch it and stay 
                 (D)
And we can listen 

D - G - D - G

CHORUS 1:
C        G           D
Oh rainy day, come 'round 
C                  G                   D
 Sometimes i just want it to slow down 
C               Em    D
And we're separated now, i'm down 
      C                                  G
But i love it when you come over to the house 
                  D
I love it when you come over to my house 

D - G  x4

VERSE 3:
               D
Then there was rain
   G                           D
And I spent the night with the Queen of Spain
G                               D
My lonely little heart would've broke again
G                    D         G
Time's still vicious

VERSE 4:
    D                          G                D
The deeper that the knife goes in, the more you win
                G                      G
You win but with less than when you begin
                               G           D        G
The deeper that the knife goes in, oh...

CHORUS 2:
C        G           D
Oh rainy day, come 'round 
C                  G                   D
 Sometimes i just want it to slow down 
C               Em    D
And we're separated now, i'm down 
      C                                  G
But i love it when you come over to the house 
                  D
I love it when you come over to my house 

OUTRO:
C - G - D
Aaaaaaahhhh.......
C - G - D
Aaaaaaahhhh.......
C - Em - D
Aaaaaaahhhh.......
      C                                  G
But i love it when you come over to the house. 
                  D
I love it when you come over to my house. 
  C                                  G
I love it when you come over to the house. 
                  D
I love it when you come over to my house.

End on D.

I'm just getting the hang of my acoustic for the first time, and Rainy Day seems like the perfect start for my first Coldplay song to perform. Simple, yet amazing. However, I would just like to ask, will a non-capo version of the track have different chords than your capo version (I haven't bought a capo yet). If so, is there any chance that you can post up a non-capo guitar tab of Rainy Day?

 

Thanks for your help, man.

The answer is yes it will matter in the long run, but not really with Rainy Day, since its so distorted anyway.

 

The difference between capo first fret and no capo is minimal. Learn it as it is, then get a capo, easier than working out how the chords change.

 

But yes, the chords do change to new chords with the capo. You'd need to learn some dull music theory to figure out the new chords.

what capos do basicly, is raising the pitch of the song (half a step for every fret you go towards the bridge).

As this is capo 1, without a capo you'd need to change these chords by raising them half a step: D becomes D#, G becomes G#, Em becomes Fm and so on.

Can you get the tabs for rainy day guitar riff?
