From: Mogk57@aol.com Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2001 09:55:35 EST Subject: c/coldplay/shiver.tab Artist-Coldplay Album- Parachutes Song- Shiver (track 02) transcribed by maria "moggy" koupari email-mogk57@aol.com This song is possibly my favourite of all time and when i had finally tabbed (all my own work) and learnt to play this song I was over the moon! It took me nearly 2 months to get this song right so i hope all of you coldplay fans out there appreciate it!I used both the album version and the Jo whiley Lunchtime Social acoustic version to figure out the melody,because you can hear finer detail in the acoustic version.This is quite a difficult song to play and so for now i have only managed to get the melody right,but i am half way working through the chords so i'll post them when i'm finished.You will need some quick fingering in this song which can take a while to perfect but once you've got it down you'll be sorted. Also the timing is crucial in this song, so i suggest that you learn all the riffs fluently and quick enough before you try to play along with the song otherwise you will just get lost, have to start the song again and eventually wear your CD player out! Don't worry if it isn't sounding right immediatly just keep listening to the song over and over until you have mastered it! Good Luck... Standard Tuning- eBGDAE Key- h- Hammer on /- slide p- pull off Intro-There are a couple of bars of chord B before the melody comes in. e|------------------------------------------------------- B|------------------------------------------------------- G|-6h8-8-8-8-6-6-6h9-9-9-9-6-6-6h8-8-8-8-6-6/1-1-1-1/4/6- D|------------------------------------------------------- A|------------------------------------------------------- E|------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------| ------------------------| -6h8-8-8-8-6-6-6h9-9-9-9| ------------------------| ------------------------| ------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------- |------------------------------------------------------- |-6-6-6h8-8-8-8-6-6/1-1-1-1/4/6-6h8-8-8-8-6-6-6h9-9-9-9- |------------------------------------------------------- |------------------------------------------------------- |------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------| -----------------------| -9/14-14-14-16-16-13/--| -----------------------| -----------------------| -----------------------| |---------------------------| |---------------------------| |-6/---------8/----------4--| |---------------------------| |---------------------------| |---------------------------| Verse 1- melody is played in between the breaks in the lyrics (just listen to the song to get what i mean) do you........... |----14----12------11------9------| |-------------9-------9------9----| |-11----11------11------11-----11-| |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------| |---------------------------------|(x2) In these two riffs, i have left out a couple of notes because a)it sounds good like this and b)it is just too complicted other wise!
