Speed Of Soundv10

----Coldplay + Speed of Sound----- Chords, Also with Electric part at bottom.

Tabbed By- Jay Logan - Subbliminal@hotmail.com

-Tuning is: Standard Tuning

EADGBE (low to high)

Sounds Great on Acoustic By the Way

Alright, first off, just so people know, The chords listed are pretty much all alternitive

fingers, but for this song its what is used. The one thing that I basically noticed, is the constant use of

the D note on the second string, and I figured out some really good sounding chords for it.

Enjoy.

All chords were named using JGuitar's chord namer, very helpfull tool. They

also have a chord search and many other things.(http://www.jguitar.com)

Now on to the Chord/Tab shall we.

Note for Chords Used

-I put the bar part for the G, just incase anybody wants to use it for some parts

were it is easier.

-For the D/F# you hold the bass note with your thumb.

-Remember most of these are alternitive fingerings, so play em as shown not how you

usually play them, it makes a huge difference.

Chords

Intro

Verse 1

How long before I get in?

Before it starts, before I begin?

How long before you decide?

Before I know what it feels like?

Where to, where do I go?

If you never try, then you'll never know.

How long do I have to climb,

Up on this side of this mountain of mine?

Riff

Verse 2

Look up, I look up at night,

Planets are moving at the speed of light.

Climb up, up in the trees,

every chance that you get, is a chance you seize.

How long am I gonna' stand,

with my head stuck under the sand?

I'll start before I can stop,

before I see things the right way up.

Pre-Chorus

And all that noise, all that sound,

all those places I got found.

Chorus

And birds go flying at the speed of sound,

to show you how it all began.

Birds came flying from the underground,

if you could see it then you'd understand,...

Riff

Verse 3

Ideas that you'll never find,

all the inventors could never design.

The buildings that you put up,

Japan and China all lit up.

A sign that I couldn't read,

or a light that I couldn't see,

some things you have to believe,

but others are puzzles, puzzling me.

Pre-Chorus

And all that noise, all that sound,

all those places I got found.

Chorus

And birds go flying at the speed of sound,

to show you how it all began.

Birds came flying from the underground,

if you could see it then you'd understand,

Oh when you see it then you'll understand...

Interlude

D5/A (Twice slowly)

All those signs, I knew what they meant.

Somethings you can invent.

Some get made, and some get sent,

Ooh...

Chorus

And birds go flying at the speed of sound,

to show you how it all began.

Birds came flying from the underground,

if you could see it then you'd understand,

Oh. when you see it then you'll understand...

Ok Now for the other electric part. It is playing some individual notes, which

is why some of the chords will sound like one part is way higher. The chords

That I made sound awesome on their own though, but with these following parts

you will have the full song:) Reason its hard to do chords for this song is because

the chords in the song are all synth and piano with guitar doing back up notes.

Anyways here they are for you.
