[skyrox73]

the legend they call christopher grimshawe

[lambtim94]

i wish i could sing, im a horrible singer.

[ChocolatePancakerawk]

asdfghjkl

[123stellamatta]

can somebody say me what he said at the beginning of the video? Please:)

[DROLL30]

i can almost sing this word for word !!

[intruscus]

I thought it was "From the windows they they were watching" . . . . . .

[HesterJulia]

Best solo in the world! Why do we need Jonny?

No, kidding. Coldplay is only Coldplay with our favourite four guys!;)

[altoidsjedi]

TABS TABS TABS PLEASE!!!

[lawsuituuup]

Can you just hear how he controls his voice? *-*

[kelly11112]

Oh. My. God. Fucking amazing!!!!!!! Who the hell could be this talented??!?! How could someone be this good live, play guitar, piano, and still be incredibly funny and down to earth??!?

Well, DUH! Only Chris Martin can.

[TheJaytjahh]

Exclusive is another word for not that good... Jaja sure thing chris :P Epic! thats the word :)

[ayllasousa]

i looooooove him <3 his voice is amazing!

[abelyss]

Ahh, just listen to the way he says the word "violet"...

[abelyss]

Silly Chris, this version is even better!

[HesterJulia]

I say: Jonny, drop your guitar down, let Chris sing your solo's! Than we can have a laugh!;)

[immyi1]

gotta love chris :D



[kostasssism]

This is a masterpiece!!

[AminKenny]

i'm i the only one hearing the 1:41 ?

[445h]

WHAT DID YOU SAY? NOT. THAT. GOOD?! YOU'RE WRONG CHRIS!

[Sjorsieboy93]

Brilliant. 

[srees1979]

I've just put up a cover of this one, which I think is very close to this in terms of how it's played. Have a look if you have a couple of minutes!

Tuning is -

C# A D G C# C#

[loss7y]

what are the chords... people do covers but i notice they miss chords in between like what chris does.... please tell me! and tuning too :D

[srees1979]

@loss7y hi,ya there if you look at my cover on my page, I think it's pretty close to this.

Tuning is weird - C# A D G C# C#.

Hope this helps.

[loss7y]

@srees1979 cheers :D

[tPianist03]

@loss7y

Chords are pretty simple

key of C# minor

Was a long and dark december

Cm

From the rooftops i remeber

Cm (I play piano, but I think guitarists call this a Sus chord. Add a B to the Cm chord.)

there was snow AM

white snow  F#M

For the "DUN DUN DUN DUN" afterwards the notes are F# F ENat Eb

[zowi1]

@tPianist03

u sure about that Cm? kinda hurts my ears after a C#m

[MuseICxfuhnatic]

Who knew I would fall in love with Coldplay once again after hearing this acoustic version? <3

[longtalker]

He's such a good instrumentalist... You find great voices every once in a while, great pianists every once in a while, and great guitarists every once in a while. But he's all in the same (down-to-earth) person!... Love you Chris!

[SplinterCell37]

I almost prefer this to the original! Such a cool guy!

[pabloindustries]

You can write Barack Obama with the letters on his arm :P

[Dhomen]

@pabloindustries yepp, we know the latin words as well, thank you.

[pabloindustries]

@Dhomen um...?

[Wawah88]

OMG, this kill me.

[veryconfusing]

I'm killing to see a video of that !! only cool people can sing guitar solos ^^

[a4senal101]

OMG I liked the original but I absolutely love this version!!! This man Is a genius!!!

[SuperKarlo97]

only chris can sing guitar solos :)

[WeirdSingingGirl]

Coldplay is amazing. End of discussion ;)

[maverickmeerkat42]

This is amazing. I love the little variations he puts in. The part at 2:00 is awesome too.

[fandito9]

@maverickmeerkat42 All the song is amazing, I mean, all their songs! I want their new album in my hands right now :)

[jocelyn72s]

Grande esibizione!

[SuperKarlo97]

from rooftops they war waching???

[Linqoon]

@SuperKarlo97 Everyone makes mistakes ;-)

[SuperKarlo97]

@Linqoon i know , i was just suprised, but i know that they made some mistakes , but when you best in the world u have some mistakes.

P.S coldplay mistakes is equal bieber best song

[Linqoon]

@SuperKarlo97 I agree on the first part.

1) Bieber doesn't have "best songs", they all suck

2) Coldplay doesn't make mistakes, they just change the song

[SuperKarlo97]

@Linqoon fucking right

[ThisColdBlack1]

1.41 had be cracking up so much

[MrMusicMinister]

[S2BRocker]

[guerrarjpac]

@SirSmokeal0t

[supergreen34]

hahaha, "eeeeoooohh eh oh! eeeh oh eh oh!

[oxcal704]

the electric solo being sung... coldplay never ceases to entertain me :D

[hiyapal92]

@Katakras1 I was asking what type of guitar you moron, its clearly an acoustic I know this, thanks

[TTTaylorSwiftFan]

I laughed when he sang the solo

oh chris you are amazing! stop being so hard on yourself, lol

[liiiiieh]

Chris is right, because that performance wasn't good, it was BRILLIANT! :)

[hiyapal92]

anyone know what kind of guitar he's using here? I like the sound

[skaterjdub]

@hiyapal92 im pretty sure chirs is using a gibson blues king thats the guitar they been using through the viva la vida tour

[animalsweare1]

This is awesome.

[carronna]

Wow! Where can I get this?!

[SubtleAcoustics]

@carronna Don't think it was released on cd sadly.

[Shitballs78]

@carronna there is software you can download for free and you can download any youtube videos and transfer them to mp3

[SubtleAcoustics]

Wow...rad.

[LuvRemyanJack]

he was right, exclusive isn't another word for not that good, cause that was pretty decent :)

[kweechy]

@LuvRemyanJack

He sais exclusive IS another word for 'not that good'.

Anyway I'm always amazed how good this guy sounds live by himself without anything but a mic and guitar/piano.

[Ximena1507]

AMAZING!

He CAN sing (:

[huhwtf321]

[mceti]

i love this very high "if you love won't you let me know".

[LowleyUK]

[Polium101]

Thats something else...love it ;)

Viva la Christ Martin :)

[brittanyxocoldplay]

[kaihao96]

But, it was convincing; if you have not pointed out I would not have notice.

[hariiskal]

just epic performance

[apocello2010]

thanks for posting this!! fav song, i want tabs/chord :P

[dragonair907]

he made a little teeny mistake, but I won't point it out in respect. And you guys shouldn't look for it either.

[StrongHeartSoldier]

lol whats the point of even making that comment then?

[dragonair907]

To...um...I actually don't know! I have no reason; I just wrote it without thinking. :P

[StrongHeartSoldier]

haha well im gonna be an ass say it, he said rooftops rather than windows at the begginning

[HungFutChan]

Thats what makes this one "exclusive" Lol xD

[harryboy300]

lol....

why would you write a comment about the whole thing then.

[FreshRyan4]

he said rooftops instead of windows

[dragonair907]

SSHHHH!!!!!!

[Prospekt42]

he does that alot in his past albums.

[Prospekt42]

its his song. he can do whatver he wants with it and it can't be counted as a mistake

[qazo]

Ok! this is really not that good lol

anyway I like playing with the songs and acoustic versions n this stuff

[XColdplayViVaX]

[caiolita]

duude he is such a good singer sounds just as good without a huge studio editing his voice :)

[jakartasoul147]

my favorite coldplay song

[howla012]

2:00 it's Chris Martin of Coldplay; but if it was from someone else on the street; one would receive this differently.

[alexmoeller99]

Absolutely Brilliant. His playing is perfect, emphasizing the right tones, with passion and flawless rythem. His voice is never off, and he manouvers perfectly between the falsetto and alto. The man is a musical genious, and I envy him!

[abvfoak]

@alexmoeller99 couldn't have said it better! he is my idol <3

[alexmoeller99]

thanks mate. check out my band "X&Y israel". I'm on bass

[nivsf]

@alexmoeller99 ישראל שליטעע :D Israel ROCKS :D

You and your band, are you doing Coldplay covers?

[alexmoeller99]

@nivsf

yes. come to our next concert

[Commando3200]

@alexmoeller99

Would help if you could spell genius.

[SirSmokeal0t]

@alexmoeller99

I wish i had his voice, i can't sing for shit :(

[LowleyUK]

what are you talking about...stupid comment.

[alexmur90]

Que hicieron con el video de verdad xq lo quitaron

[Troupedesloups]

[anony53]

C# (Low E)

[hexsex21]

[crazyfud]

[lezleesvidz]

this is great. record it chris.

[thedoc56]

haha wow wat a solo

[alrightyproductions]

[tracgyrl]

EARGASM!

[plilittle]

[coolmanuk1]

Lady GaGas version of viva la vida is a peice of badly composed shit

[blizzfool]

i agree

[vic4253]

Fantastic...but damned, I would love to hear him playing this song on the Piano!

[cheeeesetomymacaroni]

oh my goodness. this makes me shiver <-- yet another awesome coldplay song.

[ShadowMoses12]

Thought so, it's the best

[ShadowMoses12]

Didn't Coldplay make Violet Hill? So wouldn't the Kooks have stolen it? Idk, that's why I'm asking.

[heatha74]

Amazinggg !

[giovannivb1]

You should all look for the kooks their version of this song.

It's comming close to this worldlevel.

<3

[paneerchamp]

thx for sharing!

[onlyindreams387]

I love it when he sings jonny's guitar part!! :D

[darkside079]
