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 (x02220@1)           : x 0 2 2 2 0
Aadd9 (x02420@1)       : x 0 2 2 0 0
AM7sus2 (AM7) : x 0 2 2 0 4
E (022100@1)           : 0 2 2 1 0 0
G (320003@1)           : 3 2 0 0 3 x

F#m (244222@1)         : 2 4 4 2 2 x
=====================

==== VERSE =========
This is the way I play the verse. Just repeat over and
over. For those that may want it, I've included the
strumming pattern I use
