How to play Yellow by Coldplay on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 4 you play G, D, C, Em, Dm, the shapes the player above shows.

The chart has four main chords: E, B, F# and G#m. It also catches F#m in passing, and you can leave those out at first. B, F# and G#m are barre chords. The others are open shapes. The change you will play most is E to B, 12 times in the chart, so practise that one first. It runs at about 87 beats a minute.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
