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!

OMG Chris singing that riff was so cute

This is why I have married Chris Martin in my dreams. That and the fact that he is amazing... and perfect. Just wowm

You go chris, you genius!

Fucking Hell. Live and acoustic, and it sounds like a million dollars of production went in to it. Amazing Song, Version, Band, Artist....I love this band....Especially Chris Martin. Genius

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!

when he sang the guitar solo LOL

Trust me, i can die any day if i'm surrounded by Chris Martin & Tom Chaplin! LOVE!

Lyrics&music&interpretation perfect harmony👍 Truth and pure emotion moment💘 great singer musician✌

that was amazing!!!! i was pleasantly surprised at just how fantasticly he played that song solo. it was great.

oh my goodness. this makes me shiver

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

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

Incredible. He's just so humble about it - but still, amazing...amazing.

Omg! This British accent is killing me :))) Chris you're awesome )))))

wow..unbelieveable. wonderful song and a fantastic musician.

this is immaculate

I love the accoustic solo x)

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

my fav song ,,

what a performance!!!

the ending is the best :D

just wow!

Close your eyes... Its better than original version :)

@Diego W because very few have the guts to go for falsetto/mixed voice parts. Although I'm not sure if, in this case, "exclusive" could also be used for that section.

i looooooove him

This is the best version they should only play it acoustic from now on IMO.

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

@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

Really love this song x :)

AWSOME...!!!

As perfect as Chris does it always!

Brilliant.

Love it!

Great version super Band

he is the fucking man

Thats something else...love it ;) Viva la Christ Martin :)

This is awesome.

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

Grande esibizione!

thx for sharing!

Wow...rad.

Great version super band

Best solo in the world! Why do we need Jonny? No, kidding. Coldplay is only Coldplay with our favourite four guys!;)

the legend they call christopher grimshawe

i wonder why no cover can reach those notes at 1:42 :p

Holy shit this is awesome! *falsetto bit* ...now I'm pissing myself.

@coolisstillgood my fave!

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

Nice !!!

he does that alot in his past albums.

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

Somehow its incredible

0:33 he says "from the rooftops they were watching"..but actually it is "from the window they were watching" Anyway the part "if you love won't you let me now" is fucking great!!=P

Wow! Where can I get this?!

It was a long and dark December From the rooftops I remember There was snow, white snow Clearly I remember From the windows they were watching While we froze down below When the future's architectured By a carnival of idiots on show You'd better lie low If you love me, won't you let me know? Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals And a fox became God Priests clutched onto Bibles Hollowed out to fit their rifles And a cross was held aloft Bury me in armour When I'm dead and hit the ground My nerves are poles that unfroze And if you love me, won't you let me know? I don't want to be a soldier Who the captain of some sinking ship Would stow, far below So if you love me, why d'you let me go? I took my love down to Violet Hill There we sat in snow All that time she was silent still Said if you love me, won't you let me know? If you love me, won't you let me know?

EARGASM!

i agree

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

@nivsf yes. come to our next concert

If you love me let me go....

TABS TABS TABS PLEASE!!!

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

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

♥♥♥♥♥♥ 2016 ♥♥♥♥♥♥

Silly Chris, this version is even better!

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

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#

"You people like exclusive, right?" Ahhh yes exclusively cute. I love Coldplay- Chris is such a babe :>

Bang!!!! ❤️ 🔫

@PaolinoChannel91bao Nice catch..hahah, I wonder if he realized it!

to all acoustic guitarrists: what tuning or capo do you think martin uses in this version?

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

where I get the song

any one has tabs for this version ???

only chris can sing guitar solos :)

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

The only thing I could never understand was the 'RKBCK' CK - future CarKids? ;D

does anyone know where i can find the chords/tab for this

SSHHHH!!!!!!

Better than the original.

haha wow wat a solo

@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.

and Noel Gallagher

@alexmoeller99 ישראל שליטעע :D Israel ROCKS :D You and your band, are you doing Coldplay covers?

@danfrs yes it is. Actually I think it's like this(low e first) C#-A-D-G-C#-C# See my new channel, maybe it can help you get the tabs .. the video code : v=91EQCYE_xsM Comment please. Thank you.

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

@Linqoon fucking right

@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.

@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

Fuck me... no electric guitar solo so he just turns into a fucking dolphin. I mean that in a good way

@kelly11112 And matt bellamy...

I wonder if he felt ridiculous singing the insturmental part at 1:52. I know I would. It doesn't sound bad though!

@intruscus yeah it is he just made a mistake

Tom Fletcher :)

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

from rooftops they war waching???

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

OMG, this kill me.

capo on the 5th..
