Coldplay - Amsterdam
Tab by Betazed
Standard Tuning
No Capo
There are already some good versions of Coldplay's Amsterdam, but I wanted to have
a version that sounds better especially for plucking on acoustic guitars.
I know that the "Fsus4-F"-sequence is mostly used, but I think it sounds better
without the sus4, so I put the sus4 in brackets.
chords used:
Eb Bb Fsus4 F Fadd9 Ab Abmaj7 Eb* Bb* Fadd9* Abmaj7* Bbsus2

Intro: Eb Bb (Fsus4)-F Ab
Eb Bb F Ab
Come on, oh my star is fading.
Eb Bb F Ab
And I swerve out of control.
Eb Bb Ab
If I, if I'd only waited.
Eb Bb F Ab
I'd not be stuck here in this hole.

Fadd9 Abmaj7
But time is on your side,
Eb* Bb*
It's on your side, now.
Fadd9 Abmaj7
Not pushing you down, and all around
Eb* Bb*
It's no cause for concern.
Interlude
Eb Bb F Ab |2x
Eb Bb F Ab
Come on, oh my star is fading
Eb Bb F Ab
And I see no change of release.

And I know, I'm dead on the surface
Eb Bb F Ab
But am screaming underneath.
Fadd9 Abmaj7
But time is on your side,
Eb* Bb*
It's on your side, now.

Bridge
Fadd9* Abmaj7* Eb* Bb* |2x
Fadd9* Abmaj7*
Stuck on the end of this ball and chain.
Eb* Bb*
And I'm on my way back down again.
Fadd9* Abmaj7*
Stood on the edge, tied to the noose
Eb* Bb*
Stick to the sto--mach.
Fadd9* Abmaj7*
You can say what you mean, but it won't change a thing
Eb* Bb*
I'm sick on the se--crets.
Fadd9* Abmaj7*
Stood on the edge, tied to the noose
Eb* Bb*
- you came along and you cut me loose.
Fadd9 Abmaj7 Eb Bb
You came along and you cut me loose
Fadd9 Abmaj7 Eb Bbsus2
You came along and you cut me loose
