Hey folks. Glass of Water is one of my favorite Coldplay
songs, but I was never satisfied with the sound of it on
my guitar. While it was very good, I wanted the verse
chords to sound exactly like that in the song. I messed
around a bit, and then there it was: the perfect solution.
This version sounds great in my opinion. Hope you all like
it.
==== CHORDS =========
A : x 0 2 2 2 0
Aadd9 : x 0 2 2 0 0
AM7sus2 (AM7) : x 0 2 2 0 4
E : 0 2 2 1 0 0
G : 3 2 0 0 3 x
G#sus4 : 4 4 x 1 3 x
F#m : 2 4 4 2 2 x
=====================
==== VERSE =========
This is the way I play the verse. Just repeat over and
over. For those that may want it, I've included the
strumming pattern I use
A Aadd9 AM7sus2
e|==(0)=(0)=(0)(0)=(0)=(0)=(0)==4===4==|
B|===2===2===2==2===0===0===0===0===0==|
G|===2===2===2==2===2===2===2===2===2==|
D|===2===2===2==2===2===2===2===2===2==|
A|===0===0===0==0===0===0===0===0===0==|
E|===x===x===x==x===x===x===x===x===x==|
