Chris plays a beautiful version of Hymn for the Weekend on the Conan show and also at Nova's Red Room.

Anyone able to figure out the tuning?

 

Conan:

 

Red Room:

Ok so obviously he has a capo on 1 fret, the intro chords are some form of Em A and Bm, sounds like a standard tuning.

 

Chords at the intro and verse imo:

Em7 Asus4 Bm11

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

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

G|---0------2------2----

D|---2------2------0----

A|---2------0------2----

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

Just figured it's a different tuning, from standard tune the high E to a D, chords:

 

Em7 Asus4 Bm11 Bm A G Em7

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

B|---3------3------3- ------0------0------3------0

G|---0------2------2- ------7------6------4------0

D|---2------2------0- ------9------7------5------2

A|---2------0------2- ------9------7------5------2

E|---0------0------0- ------7------5------3------0

 

gone so far, still playing with some other chords

I've spent a while trying to figure this out. Here's what I've come up with so far... I'm not really sure if the chord names or accurate...

Tuning: EADGBD
Capo: 1

Chord names are based off of the sound of the chord with the tuning mentioned above not including the capo.

Em7:     022000
Aadd4:   X02220
Bm7:     X20230
Bm:      799550
Aadd4*:  577650
G:       355400
Gadd9:   355005
Gaddb9:  355004
Bm7*:    X20232


[Verse]
          Em7       Aadd4 Bm7
Oh, angels sent from up    above
            Em7     Aadd4       Bm7
You know you make my world light up
          Em7        Aadd4 Bm7
When I was down, when I was hurt
           Em7     Aadd4     Bm7
You came to lift me up

         Em7        Aadd4    Bm7
Life is a drink, and love's a drug
        Em7             Aadd4 Bm7
Oh now I think I must be miles up
          Em7     Aadd4         Bm7
When I was hurt, withered, dried up
            Em7   Aadd4  Bm7
You came to rain a flood

[Pre-Chorus]
             Bm        Aadd4* Bm
So drink from me, drink from   me
          G  Em7
When I was so thirsty
        Bm  Add4* Bm
Pour on a symphony
     B              Em7
Now I just can't get enough

                 Bm        Aadd4* Bm
Put your wings on me, wings on     me
          G     Em7
When I was so heavy
        Bm  Add4* Bm
Pour on a symphony
        G             Aadd4*
When I'm lower, lower, lower, low

[Chorus]
Gadd9 Gaddb9  Aadd4  Bm
I,    oh      I, Oh  i
                     G
I'm feeling drunk and high
  Aadd4    Bm7
So high, so high  (Whoo!)
