   Dsus2  Dsus4	       Dsus2     Dsus4
I turn the music  up,  I got my records  on
   Aadd9/C#  A/C#	     Aadd9/C#     A/C#
I shut the world  outside until the  lights come  on
  Dsus2    Dsus4	       Dsus2	  Dsus4
Maybe the streets  alright, Maybe the  trees are  gone
  Aadd9/C#    A/C#	    Aadd9/C#   A/C#
I feel my heart start beating to my favourite  song

    Dsus2     Dsus	     Dsus2    Dsus
And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night

   Dsus2
I turn the music up, I got my records on
         Aadd9/C#
From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song
      Dsus2
Don't want to see another generation drop
          Aadd9/C#
I'd rather be a comma than a full stop

   Dsus2
Maybe I'm  in the black, maybe I'm on my knees
          Aadd9/C#
Maybe I'm  in the gap between the two trapezes
      F#m7
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
 D	     Dsus4   D	       Dsus4
Cathedrals in my     heart

F#m7sus4   F#m7		F#m7sus4   F#m7
I swear you	         emerge blinking   into
  Dsus2
To tell me it's alright

     Dadd9    D    Dadd9   D	    Asus4/C#    A/C#    Asus4/C#    
As we soar                  walls

Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

 

Does anyone have the tab for this song, possibly the chords that Chris plays?

This Please! The actual chords that are in the studio version that starts when Chris sings "And all the kids they dance..." Thanks!! :D

Thanks! I didn't use some of those chords. These will be very helpful on synth.

Saw some guy use a Capo on the 2nd fret, and I used chords G (320033}, Cadd9 (x32033}, and Em7 (022033). Sounds about right

Well it's actually played by Will.

Sounds good, right. But It's more like:

Cadd9, G, Em7, Cadd9 to me.

Yeah, also add an Asus4 before the electric guitar comes in (x02033).

Enjoy! (from original sheet music transcription)

 

 

You would help infinitely more if you could post the sheet music :P

Musicnotes won't let me print the whole song to PDF, and because I cannot print on paper an not scan... :(

 

Edit: I did 'recreate' the sheet music with some improvements.

feffa

 

I think I get some chris chords, i was listening the song and think its A-D-F#m like chris does, A on the 5th fret D on the 10th fret and the F#m on the 2nd fret, and i guess an E what do you think? the problem is: on the recording it sound a different tunning, i cant find it, and i think its on the last 2 strings E and B strings

it's in a different tuning, check the video of them warming up back stage with every teardrop (notice chris' hands)

I'm guessing it's both B and E tuned to C#, like in Violet Hill and Life in Technicolor. Not sure though, would have to try and see.

that's a pretty accurate tuning, but i'm not sure about the shapes. I tried matching what chris appears to being doing live, it's more or less sliding up & down the frets while keeping a certain shape.
