Note: This song is  
A 
live version. It’s  
A 
nice song. So just try it
 
out! :þ The starting song sounds  
A 
little of Yellow’s intro bit
 
& ends  
A 
little of The Scientist’s ‘Ouuu’ bit

Note: The intro starts with piano. What chord is that? I’m not sure,

 
it could be  
B 
or 
 
 
C 
. Then when the drums come in, the guitar &
bass guitar joins together. At this point, the track is blur,
because the bass guitar is very loud. So the intro here is given
 
base on the bass guitar. All the  
C 
, 
 
 
D 
, 
 
 
E 
& 
 
 
A 
in the intro is
 
known as Cmajor1,  
Dsus 
, 
 
 
Esus 
& 
 
 
Asus 
(could be  
Am 
) for guitar

C/G

Am 
could risked it,
 
C/G

F 
put myself into your hands,

Note: The pre chorus is hard. So listen carefully to this part of the

song when you want to play it. Try it first with the bass
guitar’s tab then you will get it on your guitar. Again I use the
bass guitar chord, so convert it to guitar when you get it. If
you’re playing the guitar for the first test in the pre chorus,
 
you don’t need to play the  
D 
& 
 
 
E 
. If you can, then convert the
D 
& 
 
 
E 
to guitar chords as  
Dsus 
& 
 
 
Esus 

Pre Chorus:

 
C 
|
Cos you’re not just anyone, |
|
D 
 
E 
 
A 
|
 
You’re  
A 
ladder to the sun, |Once again, this is the for the base
 
|For guitar, play the  
C 
& 
 
 
A 
only
D 
 
E 
 
C 
|Convert the  
C 
& 
 
 
A 
to C1 &  
Am 
You’re not just anyone, |
|
D 
 
E 
 
A 
|
 
You’re  
A 
ladder to the sun, |
 
Note: Lyrics here is just  
A 
guess at the 3rd line. So listen to the
song for help

Verse 2:

 
C/G 
I 
 
 
Am 
can run my courses and ah,
 
C/G 
Opposing 
 
 
Am 
forces and now I,
 
C/G 
Then 
 
 
Am 
I’m 
 
 
F 
just an author and…
 
C/G 
If 
 
 
Am 
you want me then you can have me,
 
C/G 
Oh 
 
 
Am 
take me, oh baby grab me,
 
C/G 
Cos 
 
 
Am 
If 
 
 
F 
you want me then you can have me,

Note: The same as the first pre chorus

Pre Chorus:

 
C 
 
C 
os you’re not just anyone,
 
D 
You’re 
 
 
E 
A 
 
A 
ladder to the sun,
 
D 
You’re 
 
 
E 
not 
 
 
C 
just 
 
anyone,
 
D 
You’re 
 
 
E 
A 
 
A 
ladder to the sun,
 
Note: The lyrics for the chorus is  
A 
guess, but I think it is correct
The chords for the chorus might not be right because of the way
 
Chris Martin sing it with  
A 
‘throw vocals'(I think that’s the
correct term) So this is the best that I can figure it out

Chorus:

 
Asus 
Oh 
 
 
Bsus 
my babe, why you did not turn?
 
Asus 
You 
 
 
Bsus 
set 
 
 
Asus 
A 
course and you could not run,
 
Asus 
Oh 
 
 
Bsus 
when 
 
 
F#m 
I’m 
 
 
C/G 
out but you did’t not turn…

Verse 3:

 
C/G 
I 
 
 
Am 
had it all and I risked it,
 
C/G 
And 
 
 
Am 
it could risk it,
 
C/G 
I 
 
 
Am 
had 
 
 
F 
it all and I risked it all,
 
C/G 
And I risked it all,

Note: The instrumental starts with the piano. Then the drums bangs in

as the bass guitar finger-walks on the bass. While the electric
guitar play the tabs given below. If you are using acoustic
 
guitar, then all the  
C 
, 
 
 
D 
, 
 
 
E 
, &  
A 
convert it to C1,  
Dsus 
, 
 
 
Esus

alone

Note: For better understanding listen to the song and try it out. But

 
still, there is  
A 
feeling that in the intro & the intrumental,
 
the  
Dsus 
could be Dminor. Maybe you can correct it if there is
any mistake. Anyway, enjoy!
