Speed of Sound
             by
            Coldplay
-----
Strum according to how the drums sound. In the intro, pick (with either
your finger or pick) the first and second strings before strumming, to
simulate the two notes from the piano before each measure. For example,
in the very beginning of the song, the two notes are E MajorE (first string)
followed by D MajorD (second string) - making it A_maj9? (see below) - then
strum the A augmentedA chord.
