Intro right guitar chord voicings:

 

E       10               8             8          7

G       11               9             9          7

E

 

               C major7 in the left guitar (looks like E- triad) clashes the high B note with the high C note in the C major triad of the right guitar.

               Then before the vocals come in there’s lots of pretty stuff, summarized by chord xxx537, C major 9. 

 

               Vocals:  A, A, A, A….G, G…. B, G, A…B, G, F#

               “You came to take us”: D D D D…C (with 3rds underneath: B B B B…A)

               “All things go”: E C B…D B A (with 3rds underneath: C A G…B G F#)

 

Same chord progression as Coldplay - Clocks
