Yes Chords

Yes (& Chinese Sleep Chant) - Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends(2008)- Coldplay
 
This version is right from the offical book. These chords are not exactly correct for guitar but they are
pretty much the same.
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes (0:00 song time)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Pre-Intro is the violins not necessarily part of the song.
 
The intro is pretty tricky because the time signature changes from 4/4 to 3.4 a few times. Listen carefully
to the chords and the timing.
 
If you have any suggestions please leave them down below. Enjoy!  (Tab and chords arranged by oliverjakerr)

   When it started we had high    hopes

   When it started we were all    right
    Bbm           Fm/Ab
But night makes a fool
                   Cadd4/G
Of us in the day - light

   Then we were dying of frus - tra -  -  tion
        Bbm6         Fm/Ab             Cadd4/G
Saying "Lord lead me not into tempta - tion"
F7                             Bb7sus4  Bb7      Bbm6    Fm/Ab

Sin, stay gone
 
F5    (Violin Solo)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F            Ab            Bb       F5
   If you€'d only, if you'd only say yes
F              F7           Fm     Fm(maj7)
   Whether you will's any - body'€™s guess
F            Ab            Bb        F5
   God, only God knows I'm trying my best
        Db                    C7sus4
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness

   So up they picked me by the big      toe
      Bbm6          Fm/Ab                 Cadd4/G
I was held from the rooftop then they let go
F7                            Bb7sus4   Bb7          Bbm6  Fm/Ab
   Dizzily screaming "Let the win - - - dows down!"
   C7add4/G       F5
As I crawl to the ground
 
F5    (Violin Solo)
 
 
[Chorus]

   If you€'d only, if you'd only say yes
F              F7           Fm     Fm(maj7)
   Whether you will's any - body'€™s guess
F            Ab            Bb        F5
   God, only God knows I'm trying my best
        Db                    C7sus4
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
