Adventure of a Lifetime Chords (CVille Live version)

[tomderoon]

Hi there!

 

Since I started my 'project' of getting to know every guitar song the way Chris plays (or has played it) in september, I've collected/tabbed about 60 songs. I also wrote down how Chris plays Adeventure of a Lifetime during the Charlottesville show. Here it is:

 

Tuning: E A D G B c

(at least; he uses the same guitar as for the Scientist, so I figured the high e should be a c then + it sounds simular :) )

 

Chords:

Dmin = 10.12.12.10.0

D = 8.10.10.9.8

G = 3.5.5.4.3.0

Amin = 5.7.7.5.5.0

Emin = 0.2.2.0.0.0

 

Generally just play: Dmin - D - G - Amin - Emin; and repeat for most of the song.

 

Length of the chords:

Dmin: 3/4, D: 1/4, G: 4/4, Amin: 4/4+3/4, Emin: 1/4

 

After "Cause you make me feel..." you stop playing the Amin. And on the "like I'm alive again" you just do Emin for 2 beats and then return to the same chord progression.

 

It's that easy! I hope it's clear!

 

Btw: You might know that Chris uses simular chord shapes, so if you know this song you also know other Coldplay songs.

 

If there is a song or a live version of a song you'd like to know on guitar; I might have it tabbed! Any requests?

Thanks, i watched their perfomance (jonny and chris) and liked the guitar.

 

And its true, Chris uses the same shapes almost everytime.....

Do you know birds?

Do you know birds?

 

Actually, that's one of the few 'hard' ones to find/tab original versions for! Tried it numerous times, just like the guitar in Every Teardrop is a Waterfall. The closest thing I found was the version of Charlie Edmonds:

 

 

Which I quickly tabbed (chord names might be different but you get the idea):

Tuning: E A D G C E – No Capo (Careful: the 'B' string might break when tuned to C :o )

 

Chords:

Am – 5.7.7.5.0.0

F – 1.3.3.2.0.0

C - 8.10.10.9.0.0

Cvar – 8.10.10.7.0.0

Bm - 3.5.5.4.0.0

 

Intro: Am F C Cvar x2

 

Verse 1

Am F C

Been standing in the corner, studying the lights

Am F C

The dreaming of escape will keep you up at night

Am F C

But someone had put the flares up, and got me in the rays

Am F C

So-o-o-o I guess I’d better stay - ‘uh uh, no come on’ you say

 

Refrain 1

F Bm

It’s a fool’s gold thunder, it’s just a warring rain

F Bm

Don’t let the fears just start ‘what if - I won’t see you again’

F Bm

Around here you never want to sleep all night

F Bm

So start falling in love, start the riot and

 

Chorus 1

Am F C

Come on rage with me

Am F C

We don’t need words, and we’ll be birds

Am F C Cvar

got to make our own key

 

Verse 2

Am F C

Only got this moment, you and me, guilty of nothing, but geography

 

 

Outro

Am F C Bm Am F C Bm

When you fly won’t you, won’t you take me too?

Am F C Bm Am F –stop-

in this world so cruel, I think you’re so cool

 

 

That's the closest version I found.
