Clocks tab by Coldplay

Artist: Coldplay
Song: "Clocks"
Album: A Rush of Blood to the Head


The "natural" verse chords are: Eb Bbm Fm
The "natural" chorus chords are: F#maj7 C# G6# F#


However, for guitar I strongly recommend:

CAPO 1st FRET

(all chords below reflect capo'd key)


VERSE

(In the VERSE the fret nos. are shown "true to key" in Eb,
simply because they are so far up the neck - not adjusted for the capo)

That's pretty much everything you need to know. Again, I felt it would be
more confusing to "compensate" for the capo on the VERSE arpeggios simply
because they are sooo far up the neck. However everything else is shown as
if played "open" ala the capo on fret 1. Have fun! ~®
