Coldplay é uma banda britânica de rock alternativo fundada em 1996 na Inglaterra pelo vocalista e pianista Chris Martin e o guitarrista Jonny Buckland no University College London. Antes do lançamento do primeiro álbum, Parachutes, a banda gravou e lançou três EP; Safety em 1998, Brothers & Sisters e The Blue Room em 1999. Este último foi o primeiro lançamento da banda por uma grande gravadora, depois de assinar contrato com a Parlophone.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Artist: Coldplay Song: Violet Hill Album: Viva La Vida or Death and All his Friends Version: 1.0
AUTHOR: Tab annotated by rikigo ([email protected]) [Standing on the shoulders of giants] I've written this in my frustration that I couldn't find/or hear a chord tab of this song that 'hit the right notes', but I acknowledge with thanks the previous works of other UT members who inspired me to complete this submission.
TUNING: Standard Tuning with Capo on 2nd fret. This version of the song is set in Bminor. Although original is in C#minor, this sounds more interesting and you get the option of more 'open' chords.
