my guess is its open G but im not 100% anyone confirm?

I don't have the answer but, I'd love to know.

 

Open G sounds right to me. :thinking:

Open G sounds right to me! :cheesy: :dance:

That sounded like a barney song, if you say it in a overly cheerful voice :laugh3:

 

Oh, and I have absolutely no idea :wideeyed:

I can't play the guitar :wacky:

I don't have the answer but, I'd love to know.

i think ive worked out about 70% of it :)

Are the chords up?

i think its open G i ll try to tab by ear tomoroow=)chris rocks

yah!

anybody for the tabs?

i m not sure but he played in the documentary also yellow with that guitar so i think he has tuned his guitar with open D#!!

wedding bells tab

 

after 5 painstaking hours with my guitar i figured the tabs out

 

standard tuning....

here are the chords in the order that he plays them

 

1st

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

B|---8------------------------------------------------------------------------|

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

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

A|---10-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

E|---0------------------------------------------------------------------------|

 

2nd

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

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

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

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

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

E|----8--use thumb--------------------------------------------------------|

 

3rd

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

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

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

D|---5------------------------------------------------------------------------|

A|---5------------------------------------------------------------------------|

E|---4 thumb------------------------------------------------------------------------|

 

4th

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

B|---8-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

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

D|---0------------------------------------------------------------------------|

A|---10------------------------------------------------------------------------|

E|----9-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

 

then do the 3rd chord, then 1st then 2nd then 3rd again then play this

 

5th

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

B|----5-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

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

D|----7-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

A|----7-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

E|----6-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

then 3rd chord again

 

this part is harder

 

you play a C-maj chord

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

B|---1------------------------------------------------------------------------|

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

D|---2------------------------------------------------------------------------|

A|---3------------------------------------------------------------------------|

E|---0------------------------------------------------------------------------|

 

then a quick...

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

B|---0------------------------------------------------------------------------|

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

D|---4-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

A|---0------------------------------------------------------------------------|

E|---0------------------------------------------------------------------------|

 

then the 3rd chord and then repeat the harder part one more time and thats what he plays on the south bank show

I've played this and it doesn't sound at all like wedding bells!

Anyway thanks for your try!

really cause when i play it to the youtube version it sounds exactly like what he plays

in standard tuning, it doesn't work for me!

same here

When I tune my e string to D and change that last quick chord to the 5th fret on the A and B strings it sounds fine. The only problem now is the final "...I always loved you and I always will" part. Beautiful song though, I hope Chris finishes it.

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.

tabs

 

oh ok thanks....yah i figured those out from watching the vid i don't have a guitar with me but i will definitely try out the other tunings.....

 

I know those are the correct tabs except for..."I always loved you and i always will"....but i knew a tuning of one struing was wrong so thank you very much for finding it out :D

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

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.

south bank show

 

dangg i know i missed it =/ i only watched the wedding bells video on youtube...would you by any chance know a link of where to watch the show in its entirety??
