Hey guys. I've been working out Green Eyes for sometime and I think I've finally gotten everything one needs to know about the tabs and stuff. I don't know if yall have already figured this out haha, so this might look silly, but ill post a tab up, and yall can tell me what you think? Ok? Great!:D I guarentee your looking at this like WTF why DO U WRITE SO MUCH? Haha i feel you. But trust me, im telling you pretty much everything you need to know. If you read this through and practice, i ASSURE YOU you will pick it up in no time. Took me a month or two to learn the basic chords, and quite a few more months to figure this out. Have fun! Alrighty so, basics first. Tuning: EADGBd Album record: capo 2nd fret Live record: no capo If you capo 2nd fret, play relative to capo Ill post the chords, and if anyone wants to ill post a video tutorial with the rythm and everything, itll only take 5 minutes or so to whip one up. Some chords, you will have to use thumb *gasp* But this is coldplay, so you should know that already:laugh3: Also, a little of my lingo. > denotes a transition (a bunch of fast changing chords) I put X's where you would usually play like a 0 or a 2 because that kinda fights with the bass note, and i dont like it. On the G shape chords feel free to add it, but i dont like the sound. With the big spaces (--------) Your playing the same chord as mentioned before the dashes. so 2---------- means you play 2 all the way there. I tried to make the dashes as long as the chord is playing for you guys. Honey you.. (little transition there) d--0------0------0------------0--0... B--0------3------1------------1--0... G--0------2------2------------0--0... D--0------0------2------------2--0...Repeat as necessary A--X------0------0------------0--X... E--3------2------X------------X--3... Green eyes.. d--0-----------0-----------0-----------0... B--1-----------1-----------0-----------3... G--2-----------0-----------0-----------2... D--2-----------2-----------0-----------0...Repeat as necessary A--0-----------3-----------X-----------0... E--X-----------3-----------3-----------2... TRANSITION: (between Deny you.... and I come here) d--0->0->0 B--1->0->1 G--0->0->2 D--2->2->2 A--3->2->0 E--3->0->X I come here... (begins with the last chord of that transition) d--0------------0------------0----0----0------->0-->0... B--1------------1------------0----1----1------->0-->1... G--2------------0------------0----2----0------->0-->2... D--2------------2------------0----3----2------->2-->2...Repeat until next verse A--0------------3------------X----3----3------->2-->0... E--X------------3------------3----1----3------->0-->X... Right before the honey you are the sea thing, hes whispering green eyes... green eyes... and playing one chord with a hammer. Thats this right here: d--0----0>0... B--1----1>1... G--2----0>2... D--2----2>2... A--0----0>0... E--X----X>X... Alrighty well, thats pretty much the song. Just rearrange those chords a bit for the ending where he goes oh wu uh oh. But yeah for the second half of the song just repeat that pattern, it repeats exactly like that. If you want a tutorial or whatever, just post! Enjoy, hope i can helpp :)

Damn. That amsterdam one is nice. When I play it out of the book on my keyboard the chords sound weak, but yours sound a lot fuller. Mind posting your chords?

Hey guys. I just tabbed this out using the life version from the Roskilde Festival in 2009. This is Chris' part. Tell me what ya think. Standard Tuning Capo 1st Fret They were sittin...........Sittin, in the strawberry swing E--0------------------------0---------------------------------0------| B--0------------------------0---------------------------------0------| G--10----------------------5---------------------------------12-----| D--11----------------------6---------------------------------13-----| A--11----------------------6---------------------------------13-----| E--9------------------------4---------------------------------11-----| When its such, its such a perfect day..

Don't forget to end on Ab!: E--0 B--0(or 4) G--5 D--6 A--6 E--4 Thanks guys enjoy! Tell me if you find any errors P.S. I made a youtube vid with the record track in the background. I think it sounds pretty complimentary! Check it out below [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0uHyZRIqhE]YouTube - Strawberry Swing - Coldplay acoustic, as played live (tabs included)[/ame]

Yamaha MO8 Keyboard Synthesizer Lexicon Alpha USB Unit Marshall Class 5 All-Tube Amp Epiphone Les Paul Standard Yamaha Upright from the 1990s Ibanez Fire-Top Acoustic-Electric Guitar :D (I also have some dinky Silvertone that cost like $60 bucks from two years ago)

So i made my first independent tab for Politik on electric guitar. and i made a full cover to go with it, tell me what you all think. I think it sounds pretty darn close: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebuv96nifS4]YouTube- Politik - Coldplay Instrumental Cover[/ame] Starts with: C7 (either use your thumb or bar the 8th fret) e|---8---- B|---8---- G|---9---- D|---8---- A|---10--- E|---8---- Fm (bar the 8th fret) (try to mute the E string) e|---8---- B|---9---- G|---10--- D|---10--- A|---8---- E|---X---- Here's the part played on the electric that accompanies the piano solo and during the "Give me love over" section (FINGERPICK INDIVIDUALLY): Fm Db6(bar) Ab Eb e|---16------18--------20------------18--- B|---18------18--------21------------20--- G|---17------18--------20------------20--- After the verse go straight D|---15------18--------18------------20--- into the outro below.

Enjoy and good luck!

Doesnt work well when the first part your sliding 2 frets back and forth. and plus, i have my guitar tuned to EADGBD and im using: D|-0-2-0-2-0-2--------------------------- B|-----------------0-1-0-1-0-1-0-1-0-1 G|------------------------------------------ D|------------------------------------------ A|------------------------------------------ E|------------------------------------------

Warning sign is a great song, and ive been trying to record an instrumental of it. i got drums, bass, rythm guitar, but i cant tackle the electric parts. I got the parts by the chorus that johnny lights up live, but i cant get that nu nah nu nah nu nah sound without muting the sound when i hammer it. how does johnny do it so smoothly live? sustain pedal? technique?

Starts out, all light goes off, and explodes into: Main Stage: Politik Violet Hill Clocks In My Place Lovers in Japan A Message Yellow Fix You Viva La Vida Lost Amsterdam Shiver One I Love Acoustics C Stage Trouble Acoustic Billie Jean Acoustic Death Will Never Conquer Main Stage: Strawberry Swing Speed of Sound Glass of Water Encore: The Scientist Green Eyes Warning Sign Warning Sign would be such an epic ending...

yes! ide love warning sign. powerful song

thanks, i get sloppy with lyrics because ive listened to the song so much.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJGZ7X4GfWQ]YouTube- Cover of Green Eyes by Coldplay[/ame] feedback appreciated. guitar is an ibanez firetop recorded thru a mic, some reverb. thanks guys :)

I'm looking for some good pedals to add effects to my new Les Paul Standard. I have a Marshall Class A tube amp, but it only has treble, mid, and bass controls :P. I got a BOSS DS-1 for distortion and it doesnt work for Coldplay and other songs, so Ill be returning that. Any pedal recommendations? Distortion, delay, reverb (RV-5??)?

I used: old Yamaha upright recorded thru a mic acoustic-electric Ibanez Fire-Top electric Epiphone L-100 thru a Marshall amp drum/bass/string voices from my Yamaha MO8 keyboard

What about it? too much treble? mid? bass?

Got bored and decided to put together a The Scientist instrumental cover... The closest that Ive ever gotten to the album version, but its far from perfect. How do yall like it? Suggestions? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Wl6yuzx6sk]YouTube- The Scientist (Coldplay) Full Instrumental Cover[/ame] Edit: yeah it is a bit lower, 2 steps i believe.. sounded better to me, plus if i ever needed to add vocals, i would never be able to hit those high notes

Are you putting that through external distortion or ur amp's module?

How would i put in a regular channel on a line 6 spyder IV? Regular just means that the amp isnt altering the sound, correct? Im learning this independently..

Hey everyone, just got my first electric guitar, an Epiphone Les Paul-100 with a Line 6 Spider IV amp, 75 watt. Ive been trying to get a similar sound to chris' guitar on warning sign, but i cant seem to nail it. Any suggestions? im using clean preset, slight delay, medium reverb, rythym, and slight bass boost... getting close but not quite there....

Thanks both of you for posting a video, I think I got it now.. Puzzling, nice editing, good luck with ur new camera :D. TyM, Where you playing exactly the notes that are on the sheet you posted?

a video would be so helpful, i really want to learn to play this. i got the acoustic chords down but i cant find out what johnny plays, either in the recorded version or in the acoustic that actually makes sense to me.

that would be awesome. ive been trying to figure this out for so long :embarrassed:

Ok so heres the deal. Ive looked at all the tabs for the electric guitar part of the scientist, including Kapone's, and i just dont understand them... some parts of the tabs use only two of the strings, and doesnt sound at all like what johnny plays at the ending of the scientist, or at least i cant make it sound like that, but everyone insists those are the tabs. can anyone explain to me how to play them? here are kapone's:

Its the same chords that are in the chord book. Right Hand G-Bb-Eb....G-Bb-D....G-Bb-C...G-Bb-D...G-Bb-Eb (repeating Left Hand Eb....... F....G....Bb....C....Bb... _G..._____Eb....F..G..(down to:) D..C..Bb that repeats (dots in between correspond to time gap between notes) try that out... a little confusing but you can figure it out (bottom notes correspond with top chords (thus some of the large spaces

Hey everyone. I was just trying to play Green Eyes out of the piano RoBttH chord book and the chords in there sound horrid. (obviously not the correct chords corresponding to the guitar tabs) Is there anyone here who could post the correct chords for Green Eyes for the piano? (it would be cool if they corresponded to the guitar tabs) Thanks guys! [also if any of you find an online tutorial for the piano version of Green Eyes, I have yet to find one] -Papps
