SPIES!!!!!!!!

Unread post by Trippin Hillbilly » Tue Aug 12, 2003 10:25 am

Hey......

So i've learnt Spies from coldplay, well most of it but I cant get that DAMN BRIDGE! I can't hear the stupid changes and it's driving me insane..

I'm talking about the 'And if we dont hide here.........' part.
I'm using the weird tuning so if anyway knows how to play it this way please help me out..

muchos gracias senhors and senhoritas!

nevermind I think I found the answer...looks a bit better then the tab I was using..

Code: Select all

.:Tab - Spies:. 
.: Transcribed by Stephen Scully
 
=============================================== 
 TUNING - E A C# G B C# for both guitars

 Another great tuning off the Parachutes album. This tuning also appears 
on We Never Change.
 Some of these shapes are difficult to play but I'm positive that they are 
correct. 
 Using your thumb to play notes on the low E string will help 
you play these chords.
 
 ===============================================
 CHORDS: Strings low to high. 

 ----------------------------
 C#m    = x4o65o             |
 F#m    = 24o22o             |
 E      = o2o12o             | o = open string
 A      = 57o65o             | x = string not played
 G#m    = 46o44o             |
 C#m7   = x4o6oo             |
 E6     = x7o9oo             |
 Bsus2  = 79o8oo             |
 B      = 79o87o             |
 Ebm7b5 = (11)x(12)(11)(10)o | 
 G#     = 46o54o             | 
 G#sus4 
= 46o64o             |
 F#     = 24o32o             |
 ----------------------------
 
 INTRO:

 Lead: (Gradually bend : when you release the first bend the rhythm guitar 
starts to strum C#m for two bars)

                   C#m

 VERSE 1:

 F#m                          E
 I awake to find no piece of mind,
             A                G#m
 I said how do you live as a fugutive?
       F#m                        E
 Down here where I cannot see so clear,
             A                      G#m
 I said what do I know? Show me the right way to go,
         F#m                   G#m
 And the spies came out of the water,
              A                       G#m
 But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know,
         F#m                       E
 And the spies hide out in every corner,
                 A                     B
 But you can't touch them no, 'cause they're all spies,

 We're all fugitives, look at the way we live,
       F#m                            E
 Down here where I cannot sleep from fear, no,
               A                    G#m
 I said which way do I turn, Oh I forget everything I've learned,
         F#m                   G#m
 And the spies came out of the water,
              A                       G#m
 But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know,
         F#m                       E
 And the spies hide out in every corner,

Love this song :) And no, it is not played with a capo (at least not from the tabs I've seen and from what I've heard), it's just a funky tuning
