Hey, guitar enthusiasts. Today we're going to be doing a song by Coldplay called Clocks. I'm going to show you quickly how to play through this song. So it's mostly going to be open chords. We have a D chord, an A minor chord and an E minor chord. I'm going to be showing you the verse section of this song. So the strumming pattern we're going to use for this song is all down. Strum, eighth note, one and two and three and four and all right, all downs. With your strumming hand, it's going to sound like this. One, two. Here we go. Lights go out
and I can't be saved Tides that I tried to swim against Brought me down upon my knees oh, I beg I beg and pleads in Come out of the things unsaid Shoot an apple from my head and a trouble that can't be named Tigers waiting to be tasted.
