Charlie Brown Coldplay
I love this song very much, and I've searched the chords already, but the problem is,
many of the chords uses capo, and even worse for me myself, to tune the guita half step
down. So, I decided to create this chords, I simply transpose the song up 3 half steps,
so everything is credited to the second version (the lyrics and the chord-typing). But I
recomend to use this :
[Gm]
E|-3----------------------| B|-3----------------------| G|-3----------------------| D|-5----------------------| A|-5----------------------| E|-3----------------------|
[Cm]
E|-3----------------------| B|-4----------------------| G|-5----------------------| D|-5----------------------| A|-3----------------------| E|-x----------------------|
[F]
E|-1----------------------| B|-1----------------------| G|-2----------------------| D|-3----------------------| A|-3----------------------| E|-1----------------------|
In the bridge, I use this starting from "All the boys..."
E|-8----------------------| B|-10---------------------| G|-10---------------------| D|-10---------------------| A|-8----------------------| E|-x----------------------|
[D#]
E|-3----------------------| B|-4----------------------| G|-3----------------------| D|-5----------------------| A|-6----------------------| E|-x----------------------|
If you don't like or can't move quickly between chords, use the 3rd fret D# (Note that
D# is = Eb)
Actually, this one sounds better but I recomend to use the third fret D# if you can't
move quickly
[Eb]
E|-6----------------------| B|-3----------------------| G|-3----------------------| D|-3----------------------| A|-6----------------------| E|-x----------------------|
[Bb]
E|-1----------------------| B|-3----------------------| G|-3----------------------| D|-3----------------------| A|-1----------------------| E|-x----------------------|
Actually, this one sounds better but if you hate bare chords, use the first fret A#
(note that A# is = Bb) but the barred one sounds better for me
[A#]
E|-6----------------------| B|-6----------------------| G|-7----------------------| D|-8----------------------| A|-8----------------------| E|-6----------------------|
So now, for the song
This is how I player the intro (not sure if it's right, but it sounds good for me)
E|------6----6---------6---6--6---6--6-| B|-----6--6-6-------3/4-4----3--3---3--| G|-------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------| B|-----3----3----3-----------3----3----3-------| G|--3h5--3h5--3h5---5--3--3h5--3h5--3h5---5--3-| D|---------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------|
(The drums come)
E|------6----6---------6---6--6---6--6-| B|-----6--6-6-------3/4-4----3--3---3--| G|-------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------| B|-----3----3----3-----------3----3----3-------| G|--3h5--3h5--3h5---5--3--3h5--3h5--3h5---5--3-| D|---------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------|
2X
[Gm]I s[D#]tole a [A#]key
Took a [Gm]car downtown whe[D#]re the lost boys meet
I took a car downtown and[Cm] took what they offered me
[Gm]To [D#]set me [A#]free
I saw the [Gm]lights go down a[D#]t the end of the scene
I saw the lights go down and[Cm] they're standing in front of me
(Repeat intro but this time play it only once)
[Gm]My [D#]scarecro[A#]w dreams
When they [Gm]smashed my heart[D#] into smithereens
I'll be a bright red rose c[Cm]ome bursting the concrete
[Gm]Be [D#]a cartoo[A#]n heart
[D#]Light a fire, from a spark
[F]Light a fire, a flame[D#] in my heart
We'll run wi[D#]ld
We'll be glowing in the [Gm]dark
(Repeat Intro, this time play it twice)
All the [F]boys, all the girls
All the[D#] madness in the[A#] world
All the [F]boys, all the girls
All the[D#] madness that[A#] occurs
All the [F]highs, all the lows
As the room is spinnin[D#]g, oh
Sustain D#
We'll run wild oh
We'll start glowing in the [Gm]dark
Repeat Intro ? Times, repeat it as much as you need.
[D#]It was all an innocent riot
We'll be glowing in the [A#]dark
Outro
The Outro is in piano, but I'm sure it uses the chords from the verses except Cm
Well, that's all. Maybe it's hard at first, because of the interval between chords is a
little bit far. Many thanks to rykee81 for the chord typing and lyrics and sorry for bad
English and screwed work, I'm still a newbie :)
