Hi there! I love Secondhand Serenade and just love
their version of Coldplay's terrific song! I was quite
surprised there wasn't a tab version like this up on
UG because this is so simple. So here it is. This
plays along exactly to Secondhand Serenade's version,
as far as when to pick and when to strum. But it will
also play nicely along to Coldplay's :)
*I sometimes pick through the chorus parts
and will add that picking pattern if
requested:)
*************Have fun & Rate!***************
Thanks:)
**Not sure if the G/B is named correctly. Couldn't
find it on a chord chart. Maybe C/G? Anyone know?
Thanks!
(Also, the strumming parts are just regular G's and
Em's)
