Coldplay - Up With The Birds

tabbed by therewasadream

this is my first chording/tab . this may look funky , but only because i experimented with
weird chords and found a sound that fit , and then used a chord search engine to find
the names of the chords i “made” . i expect lots of criticism , which is welcome . feel
free to improve on this .

D : ( xx0232 )
Dsus2 : ( xx0230 )
em7no5 : ( xx2030 )
A : ( x02220 )
Aadd4 : ( x00220 )
G/A : ( xx00203 )
A7 : ( x02020 )
A7sus4 : ( x02030 )

the birds they sang , at break of day .
em7no5 Dsus2
“start again” , i hear them say .
A Aadd4 D
it’s so hard to just walk away .
D Dsus2
the birds they sang , all a choir ,
em7no5 Dsus2
“start again a little higher” .
A Aadd4 D
it’s a spark in a sea of gray .

D G/A
the sky is blue ,
