Up With the Birds Coldplay
Alright, this song is divided in three parts.
The first part is almost completely piano,
the second is almost completely strings and other ambience,
and the third part is almost completely guitar.
Also, Coldplay tunes their guitar's 1st string to D and capos it on the 7th fret.
If you want to go ahead and figure out the chords, be my guest.
It sounds like 4/4 but it's actually 6/8,
which was confusing for a while.
Just count the song and you'll see.
(1st part, just strum once to simulate piano)
The birds they [D]sang, at break of day.
Start a[G/B]gain, I hear them say.
It's so [C#dim]hard to just walk away.
The birds they [D]sang, all a choir.
Start a[G/B]gain, a little higher.
It's a [C#dim]spark in a sea of grey
(2nd part, again strum once)
The [Em9]sky is [G]blue.
Dream that [Em9]lie, 'til it's [G]true.
Then [Asus4]taking [A]back the [Asus4]punch I [A]threw.
My [Em9]arms turn [G]wings.
Oh those [Em9]clumsy [G]things.
Send me [A7]up to that wonderful [Gmaj7]world.
And [Em7]then I'm [A7]up with the [D]birds.
(Sort of bridge thing)G Gadd(#4) D
(3rd part intro, one chord per measure)
[D] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus4] [D] [Dsus4]
(3rd part)
Might have to g[D]o where they d[Bm]on't know my [D]name.[Bm]
Float all o[Gmaj7]ver the w[G6]orld, just to [Gmaj7]see her again[G6].
But I w[D]on't show or f[Bm]eel any p[D]ain.[Bm]
Even t[Gmaj7]hough all my a[G6]rmo(u)r might [Gmaj7]rust in the r[G6]ain.
A simple p[Em7]lot, but I know one day,
good t[G]hings are coming our w[D]ay.[Bm7]
A simple p[Em7]lot, but I know one day,
good t[G]hings are coming our w[D]ay.[Bm7]
Oh [G]yyyy[D/F#]yyyee[G]eeee[A]ee[G]aaaa[D/F#]aaaaa[G]aahh[A]hhhhhhh!
(outro, again, one chord per measure)
[D] [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus2] [D] [Dsus2] [D6]
