Okay what I am tabbing out here is the actual guitar TAB - no extra chords

for parts where there's no guitar playing, there's enough of that on this

site already, but strictly what the guitar(s) actually play in this song.

Jonny doesn't even come in until the "High up above and down below"

verse (a strumming acoustic) and the famous riff on the last half of the

song. No one has tabbed it like this yet (maybe in the guitar pro, but not

normal tabs), so here you go.

Prospekts March

 

STANDARD TUNING - CAPO 2

 

VERSE:

Am F

Smoke is risin' from the houses

Am F

People buryin' their dead

Am F

I asked somebody what the time is

Am F (Cmaj7)

But time doesn't matter to them yet

F Am (Cmaj7)

People talking without speaking

F Am (Cmaj7)

Tryin' to take what they can get

F Am

I ask you if you remember

D F

Prospekt how could I forget

 

PRE-CHORUS:

C

Drums!

Am

Here it comes!

F

Don't you wish your life could be as simple

As a fish swimming round in a barrel

D

When you've got the gun

Dm7 C

Oh and I run

Am

Here it comes!

F

We're just two little figures in a soup bowl

Tryin to get beyond a kind of control

Dm Dm/F

But I wasn't one

 

CHORUS:

G (Em) F

Now here I lie on my own in a separate sky

G (Em) F

Now here I lie on my own in a separate sky

G

I don't wanna die

(Em) F

On my own here tonight

G (Em) F

Now here I lie on my own in a separate sky...

 

End on C.

Sorry dude but i think the Fix You solo is wrong, I'll post my tab a bit later on, i believe its more correct

me encanta!! mi segundo favorito artista!!!

 

:D a mi me gustan mucho sus canciones.. exepto las ultimas.. que son como mas.. "musica popular" por decirlo asi...

 

La primera cancion que aprendi a tocar en la guitarra fue "A Dios le pido" :P

no wait sorry it's right!! half a step down means its correct i'm thinking 3rd, 4th and 11th frets for standard tuning :P

really good job on this thread btw, got a lot of reaction from coldplaying users.

Artist: Coldplay

Song: Fix You

..............................

 

well, you forgot the e-guitar part in the chorus and after the chorus and in the 2nd verse!

btw: it is not necessary to tune the whole guitar down 1/2steps, no, you'd only need to tune down the top 3 strings (G/B/e to Gb/Bb/eb = F#/A#/D#)

Chorus:

(~ = let ring for a bit)

eb---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

bb---------5~---------5~-----------------7~-------7~-----------------5~---------5~-----------------7~-------7~---

gb---4h6------4h6------4~/6~--6h8------6h8-----6~\4~--4h6------4h6------4~/6~--6h8------6h8-----6~

 

after-chorus:

eb-------12~------11~------12~-------11~--

bb-------------------------------------------------

gb---13~------13~------13~------13~-------

 

2nd verse: (depending on version, jonny plays "after-chorus" or often live the following)

eb--------12~------11~------12~------11~--- |

bb---12~------12~------12~------12~------- | X 4 (i guess :D )

gb------------------------------------------------- |

 

then chorus again and directly afterwards:

__________________________________________________________

eb---0--0--0--0--|0--0--0--0--|0--0--0---0--|-0----0----0----0| X 3

bb---5--5--5--5--|5--5--5--5--|5--5--5/12--|12--12--12--12 |

 

then

 

eb---0-0-0-0-|0-0-0-0-|0-0-0-0-|0-0-0-0|

bb---5-5-5-4-|4-4-4-4-|4-4-4-4-|4-4-4-4|

------>------->------->-------->------->---->--|

___________________________________________________________

all that is repeated 8 times (4 times w/o singing, 4 times w/ singing)

and coming to the end, you just let ring/fade

eb---0--

bb---5--

 

the | should be to make it better to read

the--->---> in the last line mark not only stresses but also make it easier to put the tones into "groups", it's like 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 2 - 2 (tones)

 

btw: sorry, didn't have a guitar with me, so i cannot be 100% sure, but as far as i remember it's all accurate (hope the formatting works out good...)

 

bye!
