Paradise Coldplay
There are two possible ways of playing this, and I'll tab both for completeness's sake.
This first version sounds much better, but is a little more difficult.
Tuning: E A D G C F (careful the high strings don't snap during tuning)
Chords:
Gm: 3(t)55300
C: x32000
Dm: 10(t) 12 12 10 00
F: 1(t)33200
Bb: 688700
C/E: 332000
G: 355400
Intro:
Gm C Dm F (x3)
Bb F C/E (x2)
Gm Bb F C (x4)
[Dm]When she was just a [Bb]girl,
[F]She expected the [C]world,
But it [Dm]flew away from her [Bb]reach,
So she [F]ran away in her [C]sleep.
Dreamed of [Gm]para-para-[Bb]paradise,
[F]Para-para-[C]paradise,
[Gm]Para-para-[Bb]paradise,
[F]Every time she closed her [C]eyes.
Gm Bb F C (x2)
[Bb]When she was just a [F(/A)]girl,
[F(/A)]She expected the [C]world,
[Bb]But it flew away from her r[Dm]each,
[Dm]And bullets catch in her [C]teeth.
[Gm]Life goes on,
It [Bb]gets so heavy,
The [F]wheel breaks the [C]butterfly.
[Gm]Every tear, a [Bb]waterfall.
[Bb]In the night, the [F]stormy night,
She closed her [C]eyes.
In the [Bb]night, the [F]stormy night,
Away she [C]flied.
And dreamed of [Gm]para-para-[Bb]paradise,
[F]Para-para-[C]paradise,
[Gm]Para-para-[Bb]paradise,
[F]Whoa-oh-oh o[C]h-oooh oh-oh-oh. (x2)
Gm C Dm F (x4)
Still [Bb]lying undern[C]eath the stormy [F]skies
She said [Bb]oh-oh-oh-oh-[C]oh-oh.
I know the [F]sun's set to rise.
And dreamed of [Gm]para-para-[Bb]paradise,
[F]Para-para-[C]paradise,
[Gm]Para-para-[Bb]paradise,
[F]Whoa-oh-oh o[C]h-oooh oh-oh-oh. (x2)
Gm Bb F C (lots of times)
[Bb] [F(/A)] [Am] [Dm] [G] [Bb]
