Swallowed in the Sea Coldplay
Coldplay - Swallowed in the Sea
There are already about four versions of this song on here and no one's
gotten it quite right yet!!! Here's how it's played.
TUNING:
[-Eb-]
[-B-]
[-G-]
[-D-]
[-A-]
[-E-]
Standard tuning with high E 1/2 step down. (same tuning as another
Coldplay song, "Yellow")
I've tabbed the chord fingerings first. The progression is after.
Play the sixth string with your THUMB. Otherwise it's much harder
to fret the minor chords.
Aside from the thumb fingerings on the sixth string, the major chords
are usually played with the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fingers. You CAN play
them with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd however. Minor chords use thumb, 1st, 3rd, and 4th
fingers.
CHORDS: (remember the high E (first string) is tune ONE HALF
step down to Eb. the other 5 strings are standard tuning)
B: -0- F#: -0- E: -0- Abm: -0- C#m: -0- -0- -0- -0- -0- -0- -8- -3- -1- -4- -9- -9- -4- -2- -6- -11- -9- -4- -2- -6- -11- -7- -2- -0- -4- -9-
Play around with these chords, then you can start putting together the song. It's
actually quite easy!!!
First verse on the album version is only vocals and synthesizer, but this is the
progression he plays on the acoustic guitar version.
(Quietly)
You c[B]ut me down a t[F#]ree And b[E]rought it back to m[B]e
And t[F#]hat's what made me s[E]ee Where I[E] was going wr[B]ong
You p[B]ut me on a sh[F#]elf And k[E]ept me for yours[B]elf
I can [F#]only blame mys[E]elf You can [E]only blame m[B]e
And I[E] could write a s[B]ong A hu[Abm]ndred miles l[F#]ong
Well, t[E]hat's where I bel[B]ong And y[B]ou belong with m[F#]e
And I[E] could write it d[B]own Or s[Abm]pread it all ar[F#]ound
Get l[E]ost and then get f[B]ound Or sw[B]allowed in the s[F#]ea..........[B]..
(Louder)
You p[B]ut me on a l[F#]ine And h[E]ung me out to d[B]ry
And d[F#]arling that's when I[E] Decid[E]ed to go to s[B]ee you
You c[B]ut me down to s[F#]ize And [E]opened up my e[B]yes
M[F#]ade me real[E]ize What I[E] could not s[B]ee
And I[E] could write a b[B]ook The o[Abm]ne they'll say that sh[F#]ook
The w[E]orld, and then it t[B]ook It [B]took it back from m[F#]e
And I[E] could write it d[B]own Or sp[Abm]read it all ar[F#]ound
Get l[E]ost and then get f[B]ound And [B]you'll come back to m[F#]e
Not [E]swallowed in the s[B]ea
BRIDGE: (C#m E B F#) x4
*(The rest of the chords are basically just a repeat of the
earlier progression)
And I[E] could write a s[B]ong A h[Abm]undred miles l[F#]ong
Well, [E]that's where I bel[B]ong And y[B]ou belong with m[F#]e
The str[E]eets you're walking o[B]n A th[Abm]ousand houses l[F#]ong
Well, [E]that's where I bel[B]ong And y[B]ou belong with m[F#]e
Oh what g[E]ood is it to l[B]ive with n[Abm]othing left to g[F#]ive,
Forg[E]et but not forg[B]ive, Not [B]loving all you s[F#]ee?
Oh the str[E]eets you're walking o[B]n A th[Abm]ousand houses l[F#]ong
Well [E]that's where I bel[B]ong And y[B]ou belong with m[F#]e
Not sw[E]allowed in the s[B]ea
Y[Abm]ou belong with m[F#]e Not sw[E]allowed in the s[B]ea
Yeah, y[Abm]ou belong with me[F#] Not sw[E]allowed in the s[B]ea.....
