Tabs
Band: Coldplay
Track: 'til Kingdom Come
Album: X&Y
Tuning: CACGCE (Low to High)
Ahoy there me hearties! Here is a great little 'open' tuning number by Coldplay from
their latest album X&Y.
This particular tab version is in C6, as used by the master craftsman ("Sir" Jimmy
Page) himself in one of his classic little
acoustic pieces 'Bron-Yr-Aur' from the 1975 album Physical Graffiti. They don't call
me Monsieur Pop Quiz for nothing.
Basically, all you have to do is tune your bass 
E MajorE down to a C, your 
D MajorD down to a 
C majorC
and your 
BB up to a C. You can leave the
rest of the strings as they are - providing they are in tune of course! Hey hey!
Start with the C majorC chord and let it RING out BIG time. Use a pick or your strumming
fingers, and get into the rhythm. With such
simple great tuning, you can't go wrong here - it sounds really great and meaty,
and you can impress all your friends (but
not your neighbours)!

In your tears and in your blood
In your fire and in your flood
I hear you laugh, I heard you sing
I wouldn’t change a single thing
And the wheels just keep on turning
The drummer begins to drum
I don’t know which way i’m going
I don’t know what i’ve become
For you i’d wait til kingdom come
Until my days, my days are done
Say you’ll come and set me free
Just say you’ll wait, you’ll wait for me
Just say you’ll wait, you’ll wait for me
Just say you’ll wait, you’ll wait for me

Til Kingdom Come tab
'Til Kingdom Come was, according to Chris Martin, down to his religious upbringing and a hymn he used to sing as a child. The song was originally written for Johnny Cash, and the plan was that Coldplay and Cash would perform it together. Alas, Cash died before the event could take place. The song was released as a hidden track on Coldplay's third studio album "X&Y". Use these guitar tabs to master the Coldplay sound.
