BAND: Coldplay
SONG: Green Eyes
ALBUM: A Rush of Blood to the Head
(SORT OF) TABBED BY: David L.
E-MAIL: regante@yahoo.com
This is my first tab, and it's mostly based on another tab that, to my
chagrin, I can't access anymore. Thus, I cannot claim that this tab is
my own, though I did make some changes to it. This is not how the song
is played by the band, but it sounds very good for a simple acoustic
rendition. All comments, corrections, whimsical musings, etc. are welcome!
UPDATE [11/9/07]: Realized I transcribed some chords incorrectly. Fixed.
==== TUNING ====
CAPO 2
| D |
| B |
| G |
| D |
| A |
| E |
The high E string should be tuned down a full step, so it is the same
as the third fret on the B string.

The strumming pattern is very simple, and is best acquired from
listening to the song and trying to play along with it. Roughly
speaking, in most cases it's something like this:
-----------------------------------------
G6 Dadd9 Am Asus2
D-DU UDU D-DU UDU D-DU UDU UDU UDU
-----------------------------------------
And no, those aren't protons and neutrons, they're strokes.
(Smile if you get that!)
