Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall
Coldplay


Electric Bass
Standard Tuning
The Bass comes in at the beginning of the second verse at 1:07 min.

Important Note: To get the slide part in the final chorus right you fret the notes on the A-string with your 
ring finger and after the slide fret the A (7) on the D-string with your index finger. 
The (9) means that this note is fretted, but not picked.
