B|----7-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

G|----0-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

D|----9-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

A|----9----------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|---0-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

B|---3------------------------------------------------------------------------|

G|---0-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Alright so of course a moment after my last reply I have a moment of inspiration.

"The" chord Chris plays at the beginning is

D|-0--|

B|-8--|

G|-0--|

D|-9--|

A|-10-|

E|-8--|

(t)

 

The chorus (I always loved you and I...) is

 

D|-0-0-0-|

B|-1-3-0-|

G|-0-2-0-|

D|-2-4-x-|

A|-3-x-5-|

E|-3-2-3-|

(t)

 

Apologies for the lack of proper formatting and the bit of 'inspiration' I've taken from Coldplayplusjuanes' tabs, I've had a bit to drink.

the only problem i have with your corrections is the first chord...

 

in the vid you can see that he doesn't use his thumb on the low E string and up close they show his middle finger going on the 4th string i believe so like i said i haven't tried playing it yet but that just seemed odd. so if you can explain please do...thanks

tabs

 

Oh no, I don't mean the first chord in the song itself, that one I posted was 'the' chord he refers to in the beginning of the longer video, in which he explains the inspiration for the song, your original tab of the beginning sounds perfect to me.

 

oh ok well thank you very much...i tried tuning the e string to D and it sounds right and so does the tab so i guess we got the wedding bells tab done :D haha

 

i'm gonna work on finishing it and making my own version but hopefully chris professionally finishes it

I don't think it will becase they are working with Eno again, and before that segment on the south bank show he said h doesn't like having chris in the studio with the rest is because he comes in with whole ideas of songs (eg wedding bells) and that's exactly what Eno doesn't want. If you don't know what I'm talking about then watch the south bank show.
