coldplay_is_louve. Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I don't have the answer but, I'd love to know. Open G sounds right to me. :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ainsley Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getithom Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I don't have the answer but, I'd love to know. Open G sounds right to me. :thinking: That sounds about right. Off-topic though, I love that song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldplayplusjuanes Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ols54 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I've played this and it doesn't sound at all like wedding bells! Anyway thanks for your try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldplayplusjuanes Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 really cause when i play it to the youtube version it sounds exactly like what he plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsarehardcorex Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsarehardcorex Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 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.

Coldplayplusjuanes Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsarehardcorex Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 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.

TyM218 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldplayplusjuanes Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 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??
