It’s a nice song. So just try it out! :þ The starting song sounds a little of Yellow’s intro bit & ends a little of The Scientist’s ’Ouuu...’ bit. Standard Tuning: EADGbe Chords Used: C/G Dsus Esus Asus Aminor Fmajor Bsus F#minor Dminor e| 0 0 0 5 0 0 7 2 1 b| 1 0 0 5 1 1 7 2 3 G| 0 7 9 6 2 2 8 3 2 D| 2 7 9 7 2 3 9 4 0 A| 3 5 7 7 0 3 9 4 0 E| 3 X 0 5 X X 7 2 X Note: The intro starts with piano. What chord is that? I’m not sure it could be B or C. Then when the drums come in the guitar & bass guitar joins together. At this point the track is blur because the bass guitar is very loud. So the intro here is given known as Cmajor1 Dsus Esus & Asus(could be Am) for guitar. Intro: (piano) drag to (open string at 5th string) |This chords is bass drag to |chords which can be drag to (open string at 5th string) |used on the guitar drag to |& piano. Verse 1: From the very started Came Earth parted Broke up into pieces and... There’s a chance I could have missed it It could risked it But I put myself into your hands Note: The pre chorus is hard. So listen carefully to this part of the song when you want to play it. Try it first with the bass guitar’s tab then you will get it on your guitar. Again I use the bass guitar chord so convert it to guitar when you get it. If you’re playing the guitar for the first test in the pre chorus you don’t need to play the D & E. If you can then convert the D & E to guitar chords as Dsus & Esus. Pre Chorus: Cos you’re not just anyone | | You’re a ladder to the sun |Once again this is the for the base. |For guitar play the C & A only. You’re not just anyone | | You’re a ladder to the sun | Note: Lyrics here is just a guess at the 3rd line. So listen to the song for help. Verse 2: I can run my courses and ah Opposing forces and now I Then I’m just an author and... If you want me then you can have me Oh take me oh baby grab me Cos If you want me then you can have me Note: The same as the first pre chorus. Pre Chorus: Cos you’re not just anyone You’re a ladder to the sun You’re not just anyone You’re a ladder to the sun Note: The lyrics for the chorus is a guess but I think it is correct. The chords for the chorus might not be right because of the way Chris Martin sing it with a ’throw vocals’(I think that’s the correct term). So this is the best that I can figure it out. Chorus: Asus Bsus Oh my babe why you did not turn? Asus Bsus Asus You set a course and you could not run Oh when I’m out but you did’t not turn... Verse 3: I had it all and I risked it And it could risk it I had it all and I risked it all And I risked it all Note: The instrumental starts with the piano. Then the drums bangs in as the bass guitar finger-walks on the bass. While the electric guitar play the tabs given below. If you are using acoustic Asus(could be Am). Instrumental: (piano) | |Then the piano & the bass guitar |play the same as the intro. | The electric guitar’s tab. e|8-8-8-8-8-8-10-10-drag to-12-12-12-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-| G|---------------------------------------------------|1st Bar |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| e|8-8-8-8-8-8-10-10-drag to-12-12-12-15-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-| G|-----------------------------------------------------------|2nd Bar |-----------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------| Note: During the bridge the electric guitar will still play the same tabs given. Bridge: And I risked it all A ladder to the A ladder to the sun A ladder to the A ladder to the sun A ladder to the A ladder to the sun I had it all and I risked it all A ladder to the A ladder to the sun A ladder to the A ladder to the sun A ladder to the A ladder to the sun I had it all and I risk it all Note: This part all the instruments will fade out leaving the piano alone. Fade: And I risked it all I risked it all I had it all I risked it all I risked it all A ladder to the sun Note: For better understanding listen to the song and try it out. But still there is a feeling that in the intro & the intrumental the Dsus could be Dminor. Maybe you can correct it if there is any mistake. Anyway enjoy!
