Ladder To The Sun

Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
   Fminor [Dm9]
 Note: The intro starts with piano. What chord is that? I'm not sure,
  it could be B or C. Then when the drums come in, the guitar &
  bass guitar joins together. At this point, the track is blur,
  because the bass guitar is very loud. So the intro here is given
  base on the bass guitar. All the C, D, E & A in the intro is
  known as Cmajor1, Dsus, Esus & Asus(could be Am) for guitar.
 C D drag to E A(open string at 5th string) |This chords is bass
  D drag to E C |chords which can be
  C D drag to E A(open string at 5th string) |used on the guitar
   drag to  |& piano.
From  the very started,
Came  Earth parted,
Broke  up into pieces and...
There's  a chance I could have missed  it,
It  could risked  it,
But  I put myself into your  hands,
 Note: The pre chorus is hard. So listen carefully to this part of the
  song when you want to play it. Try it first with the bass
  guitar's tab then you will get it on your guitar. Again I use the
  bass guitar chord, so convert it to guitar when you get it. If
  you're playing the guitar for the first test in the pre chorus,
  you don't need to play the D & E. If you can, then convert the
   &  to guitar chords as  & .
 Pre Chorus:
  Cos you're not just anyone,  |
  |
 You're a  ladder to the sun,  |Once again, this is the for the base.
  |For guitar, play the C & A only.
 |Convert the  &  to C1 & .
  You're not just anyone, |
  |
 You're a  ladder to the  sun, |
 Note: Lyrics here is just a guess at the 3rd line. So listen to the
  song for help.
I  can run my courses  and ah,
Opposing  forces  and now I,
Then  I'm just an author and...
If  you want me then you can have  me,
 Oh  take me, oh baby grab  me,
Cos  If you want me then you can have  me,
 Note: The same as the first pre chorus.
 Pre Chorus:
  Cos you're not just anyone,
 You're a  ladder to the sun,
 You're  not just anyone,
 You're a  ladder to the sun,
 Note: The lyrics for the chorus is a guess, but I think it is correct.
  The chords for the chorus might not be right because of the way
  Chris Martin sing it with a 'throw vocals'(I think that's the
  correct term). So this is the best that I can figure it out.
Oh  my babe, why you did  not turn?
You  set a course and you could  not run,
Oh  when I'm out but you did't  not turn...
I  had it all and I  risked it,
 And  it could risk  it,
I  had it all and I  risked it all,
 And I risked it all,
 Note: The instrumental starts with the piano. Then the drums bangs in
  as the bass guitar finger-walks on the bass. While the electric
  guitar play the tabs given below. If you are using acoustic
  guitar, then all the C, D, E, & A convert it to C1, Dsus, Esus &
  (could  be ).
  D E C  |Then the piano & the bass guitar
  C D E A |play the same as the intro.

 Note: During the bridge, the electric guitar will still play the same
  tabs given.
And  I risked it all,
A  ladder to the,
A  ladder to the sun,
A  ladder to the,
A  ladder to the sun,
A  ladder to the,
A  ladder to the sun,
I  had it all  and I risked it all,
A  ladder to the,

A  ladder to the,
A  ladder to the sun,
A  ladder to the,
A  ladder to the sun,
 I had it  all and I risk it all,
 Note: This part, all the instruments will fade out leaving the piano
  alone.
 Fade:
 And  I risked it all,
I  risked it all,
 I had it all,
 I risked it all,
I  risked it all,
A  ladder to the sun,
 Note: For better understanding listen to the song and try it out. But
  still, there is a feeling that in the intro & the intrumental,
  the Dsus could be Dminor. Maybe you can correct it if there is
  any mistake. Anyway, enjoy!

      base on the bass guitar. All the C, D, E & A in the intro is

Note: For better understanding listen to the song and try it out. But
      still, there is a feeling that in the intro & the intrumental,
      the Dsus could be Dminor. Maybe you can correct it if there is
      any mistake. Anyway, enjoy!
