Tabbed by BloodPheasant741 Hey folks. Glass of Water is one of my favorite Coldplay songs, but I was never satisfied with the sound of it on my guitar. While it was very good, I wanted the verse chords to sound exactly like that in the song. I messed around a bit, and then there it was: the perfect solution. This version sounds great in my opinion. Hope you all like it. ==== CHORDS ========= A : x 0 2 2 2 0 Aadd9 : x 0 2 2 0 0 AM7sus2 (AM7) : x 0 2 2 0 4 E : 0 2 2 1 0 0 G : 3 2 0 0 3 x G#sus4 : 4 4 x 1 3 x F#m : 2 4 4 2 2 x ===================== ==== VERSE ========= This is the way I play the verse.
