Coldplay: clocks tabbed by: BJ http://www.pianotabs.net This song is pretty mad i must say! My piano is a bit out of tune...so i hope this sounds as good on your piano.... just listen to the song to work out how fast it goes...but you will soon find out it is a pretty fast tempo The piano riff pretty much goes through the whole song except for a few parts where it does the same thing but a little higer...I have just tabbed the main riff here. The Riff goes as follows NOTE: I have broken it up into LINES so it is easier to read.. Right Hand: 1st Line: Eb Bb G Eb Bb G Eb Bb G........repeat once more 2nd Line: Db Bb F Db Bb F Db Bb F (play this bit 3 times) 3rd Line: C Ab F C Ab F C Ab C......repeat once more Left Hand (chords) 1st Line: G-Bb-Eb 2nd Line: F-Bb-Eb 3rd Line: F-Ab-Db Any suggestions to improve this tab would be greatly appreciated....thankyou enjoy! ADDITIONS: Joseph Napoli submitted this tab: Song: "Clocks" Band: Coldplay Album: "Rush of Blood To The Head" Year: 2002 Tabbed by: ux² E-mail: uxsquared@hotmail.com For this tab, Middle C marks the beginning of Octave 1. C Db D Eb E F Gb G Ab A Bb B C Db D Eb E F Gb G Ab A Bb B C |<======== Octave 1 ========>|<======== Octave 2 ========>| Each note below has a number after it. This number (either 1 or 2) identifies the octave in which the note is played. "Clocks" has eight 'eighth notes' in each measure. One measure of music is represented by one line of notes. Play each note one at a time, right after the other. Section 1 is played in both the left and right hands at the same time. Each hand plays exactly the same notes, except the left hand plays one octave lower than the right hand. The right hand part has been tabbed out, so once you learn the riff, you can apply it to the left hand. Note that this applies only to Section 1. Section 1: Eb2 Bb1 G1 Eb2 Bb1 G1 Eb2 Bb1 Db2 Ab1 F1 Db2 Ab1 F1 Db2 Ab1 Db2 Ab1 F1 Db2 Ab1 F1 Db2 Ab1 C2 Ab1 F1 C2 Ab1 F1 C2 Ab1 Section 2: Ab2 G2 Eb2 Ab2 G2 Eb2 Ab2 G2 Ab2 G2 Db2 Ab2 G2 Db2 Ab2 G2 Ab2 G2 Db2 Ab2 G2 Db2 Ab2 G2 Ab2 G2 C2 Ab2 G2 C2 Ab2 G2 Section 3: Each measure in the bridge contains one 'eighth note' played eight times. For brevity's sake, it's been compressed so all you have to do is "play each note below eight times". F2 F2 F2 F2 F2 F2 Ab1 C2 F2 F2 Ab1 C2 F2 F2 F2 F2 This song is broken down into ten parts, listed below. The numbers below refer to the measures of each part. 1-16 Intro Play Section 1 four times 17-32 Verse 1 No piano 33-48 Chorus 1 Play Section 1 four times 49-64 Verse 2 No piano 65-80 Chorus 1 Play Section 1 four times 81-96 Chorus 2 Play Section 2 four times 97-112 Bridge Play Section 3 one time 113-120 Chorus 1 Play Section 1 two times 121-152 Chorus 2 Play Section 2 eight times 153-168 Outro Play Section 2 four times Tabber's Notes: This song reminds me of Radiohead playing "Like Spinning Plates" at a concert in Ohio. An excellent tab of that song can be downloaded at http://www.pianotabs.net/tabs/r/rad_like.txt . It's more complicated than this tab, but it's worth it.
