Swallowed In The Sea

-Eb-
-B-
-G-
-D-
-A-
-E-

Standard tuning with high E 1/2 step
 down. (same tuning as another
Coldplay song, "Yellow")


I've tabbed the chord fingerings 
first. The progression is after.
Play the sixth string with your 
THUMB. Otherwise it's much harder
to fret the minor chords.

Aside from the thumb fingerings on 
the sixth string, the major chords
are usually played with the 2nd, 
3rd, and 4th fingers. You CAN play
them with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd 
however. Minor chords use thumb, 
1st, 3rd, and 4th
fingers.

CHORDS: (remember the high E [first 
string] is tune ONE HALF
         step down to Eb. the other 
5 strings are standard tuning)

Play around with these chords, then 
you can start putting together the 
song. It's
actually quite easy!!!

First verse on the album version is 
only vocals and synthesizer, but 
this is the
progression he plays on the acoustic
 guitar version.

[Verse]
(Quietly)
     B             F#       E    
You cut me down a tree And 
              B
brought it back to me
Continúa después del anuncio
     F#                  E         
And that's what made me see Where I
E            B
 was going wrong
     B            F#       E     
You put me on a shelf And kept me
          B
 for yourself
      F#            E           E
I can only blame myself You can 
           B
only blame me

[Chorus]
     E               B       Abm 
And I could write a song A 
         F#
hundred miles long
       E                B        
Well, that's where I belong And 
B               F#
you belong with me
     E                B       Abm
And I could write it down Or 
            F#
spread it all around
     E                 B     
Get lost and then get found Or 
    B               F#          B
swallowed in the sea............

[Verse]
(Louder)
     B           F#       E      
You put me on a line And hung me 
        B
out to dry
     F#                  E     E 
And darling that's when I Decided
           B
 to go to see you
     B              F#      E    
You cut me down to size And 
         B
opened up my eyes
 F#         E         E           B
Made me realize What I could not see

[Chorus]
     E               B        Abm
And I could write a book The one 
                   F#
they'll say that shook
     E                  B      B 
The world, and then it took It 
                 F#
took it back from me
     E                B        
And I could write it down Or 
Abm           F#
spread it all around
     E                 B      
Get lost and then get found And 
  B                    F#
you'll come back to me
    E                 B
Not swallowed in the sea
