T|  Clocks - Coldplay
A|  Tabbed by: Da Tickler
B|  
N|  The first part of this is the studio version with a 'C#' (or 'Db')
A|  on the 3rd measures for more 'flavor', whereas 'Coldplay' just
B|  play the 'Bbm' twice. Below that are my interpretations of slight
B|  variations from a mix of live performances.
E|  
R|  INTRO & VERSE #1 & #2:
.|  ----------------------
C|  
O|  Play this twice:
M|  
-|     Eb               Bbm              Db               Fm
T|  
A|  R5|D-----D-----D---|C-----C-----C---|C-----C-----C---|c-----c-----c---|

O|  Right here is where the song would fade out on the studio version, but

Bito [Tabbenator]	(3 months ago) I SWEAR U ARE GREAT !!!
Da Tickler [Tab Guru]	(5 months ago) knightsofcydonia, if you're just beginning this is really not that hard to learn. Start off taking it very slowly (& by 'slow' I mean as slow as you need to even if it's one note at a time) with both the right & left hands playing the first line (4 measures) all the way through, over, and over, and over. Gradually increase your playing speed as you get the hang of it until you're playing at the correct speed. Then, move on to the next line and learn it the same way. Then, start playing both lines in succession. Then, move on to the next line, and the next, and the next... It may take some time, but don't get frustrated. Just keep playing, and playing, and playing...
