Up With The Birds chords by Coldplay

Chords with lyrics

This is my first chording/tab. This may look funky, but only because I experimented with
weird chords and found a sound that fit, and then used a chord search engine to find
the names of the chords I "made". I expect lots of criticism, which is welcome. Feel
free to improve on this.

        D MajorD         Dsus2Dsus2
The birds they sang, at break of day.
    Em7no5       Dsus2Dsus2
"Start again", I hear them say.
    A augmentedA      Aadd4 D MajorD
It's so hard to just walk away.
        D MajorD      Dsus2Dsus2
The birds they sang, all a choir,
    Em7no5     Dsus2Dsus2
"Start again a little higher".
    A augmentedA     Aadd4 D MajorD
It's a spark in a sea of gray.

  D MajorD   G/AG/A
The sky is blue,
       D MajorD       G/AG/A
Dreamed that lie 'til it's true,
   A augmentedA   A7A7    A augmentedA    A7Sus4
Then takin' back the punch I threw,
  D MajorD     G/AG/A
My arms turn wings,
     D MajorD   G/AG/A
Oh, those clumsy things
    A augmentedA     A7A7    D MajorD
Send me up to that wonderful world
  Dsus2Dsus2    A7Sus4  D MajorD
And then I'm up with the birds.

(Now with feeling, listen to the song for strum pattern)
D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2

       D MajorD       Dsus2Dsus2     D MajorD    Dsus2Dsus2
Might have to go where they don't know my name
     Em11no5/A Dsus2Dsus2     Em11no5/A Dsus2Dsus2
Float all over the world just to see her  again
   D MajorD       Dsus2Dsus2  D MajorD   Dsus2Dsus2
And I won't show or fear any pain,
   Em11no5/A   Dsus2Dsus2    Em11no5/A  Dsus2Dsus2
Even though all my armor might rust in the rain

     E minorEm         G+G
A augmentedA simple plot but I know one day
   E minorEm          D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
Good things are coming our way
     E minorEm         G+G
A augmentedA simple plot but I know one day
   E minorEm          D MajorD   Dsus2Dsus2 D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2
Good things are coming our way,
E minorEm G+G E minorEm G+G (listen closely for the strumming pattern)
