Note:
In verse 1, if you don’t like using E/G# & Bm(add11), you can replace
with E/G# to Em & Bm(add11) to Bm. They sound almost the same to me.
But I put them on so that those who don’t know this chord can try them
out for their own study.
Verse 1:
Amaj E/G# Bmin(add11)
Honey, you are a rock,
Amaj E/G# Bmin(add11)
Upon which I stand,
Amaj E/G# Bmin(add11)
And I come here to talk,
Amaj E/G# Bmin(add11)
I hope you understand,
Note: Hate to see that Bmin(add11)? Change them to Bmin.
Pre Chorus:
Bmin(add11)
That green eyes,
Dmaj Amaj
Yeah, the spotlight shines upon you,
Bmin(add11) Dmaj Amaj
And how could anybody deny you,
Note: About the Emin in the chorus… I’m not too sure, because it
could be Db(something… I’m not sure, just check the ‘Chords
Used’). Maybe it’s just base on how you sing or Chris Martin
sing.
Chorus:
Bmin(add11) Amaj
I came here with a load,
Emin
And it feels so much lighter,
Bmin(add11)
Now I met you,
Amaj
And honey you should know,
Emin Bmin(add11)
That I could never go on without you,
Bmin(add11)
Green eyes,
Note: Same as Verse 1.
Verse 2:
Amaj E/G# Bmin(add11)
Honey, you are the sea,
Amaj E/G# Bmin(add11)
Upon which I flow,
Amaj E/G# Bmin(add11)
And I came here to talk,
Amaj E/G# Bmin(add11)
I think you should know,
Note: The 2nd Pre Chorus sounds funny here is you play the guitar at
the Em. Maybe it is wrong or I’m not sure. Because Chris Martin
sing more higher here.
Pre Chorus:
Bmin(add11)
That green eyes,
Amaj Emin
You’re the one that I wanted to find,
Bmin(add11) Amaj
And anyone who tried to deny you,
Emin
Must be out of their mind,
Note: Same as the 1st Chorus.
Chorus:
Bmin(add11) Amaj
I came here with a load,
Emin
And it feels so much lighter,
Bmin(add11)
Now I met you,
Amaj
And honey you should know,
Emin Bmin(add11)
That I could never go on without you,
Bmin(add11)
Green eyes,
Bmin(add11)
Green eyes,
Amaj
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Emin
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Amaj
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ending:
E/G# Bmin(add11)
Honey, you are a rock,
Amaj E/G# Emin
Upon which I stand,
Note: This is the best that I can figure out. Enjoy!
