Artist: Coldplay Track: Spies Album: Parachutes Tabbed: ajd (complicateyourwords@hotmail.com) Guitars Tuned: Tune the D string down one semitone to C#, and the high E string down three semitones to C# also. (Make sure ALL the strings are tuned really nicely) 1: C# 2: B 3: G 4: C# 5: A 6: E The rhythm is very unusal and might take a little getting used to. I have written in the main notes, and the lyrics are put more-or-less where they should be but I recommend you play along with the CD to get it right. Strum freely and very gently. Have fun learning this gorgeous track! I find it easiest playing the Low E string with my thumb, and the 2nd and 3rd strings with my ring and middle fingers, respectively. This works for most chords, the rest you have to swap some fingers around. _____________________________INTRO_____________________________________ C#m _x____ o||oo|9f |||||| |||||| |||||| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 . + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|---------------------------------|---------------------0---0---0---| B|---------------------------------|---------------------9---9---9---| G|---------------------------------|---------------------9---9---9---| D|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| A|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------|---------------------------------| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 . + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|---------0-------0-------0---0---|---------0-------0-------0---0---| | B|---------9-------9-------9---9---|---------9-------9-------9---9---| | G|---------9-------9-------9---9---|---------9-------9-------9---9---|x4 D|-0-------0-----------------------|-0-------0-----------------------| | A|-x-------------------------------|-x-------------------------------| | E|-0-------------------------------|-0-------------------------------|/ > > *Strum louder where the > are shown.
