What is the sixth chord on postcards from far away?

Q. By coldplay. And I mean the sixth chord on the left hand. Sorry if I don't explain it right...I'm not a piano expert...(?)

A. Here is the handwritten piano score of the 1st page
http://wiki.coldplaying.com/index.php/Image:Postcardsfromfaraway.jpg

This question should be in the pop/rock section -- not classical.

But we classical folk are very resourceful :-)

The chords on this page appear to be:
Bb, Eb, Bb, Eb, Am7b5/Eb, D, Gm, Cm, F7add2, Cm79, G

Original Question

What is this piano technique called?
Q. when you play a chord, but you play the lowest note first, and the highest note last...like all the notes in the chord are played seperatly but close together

A. It's called an arpeggiated chord.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arpeggio


And it's also called a rolled chord.

Original Question

Help with some piano chords?
Q. I'm supposed to identify some chords for Piano Theory, but I forgot how.
Well. Bottom line is. What's a v7 chord? a v chord? an IV Chord? An I Chord?

Sigh.

A. Roman numeral notation abstracts chords from particular keys. There are several variations on it, but the ones I learned and see the most are case sensitive.

A v7 is not the same as a V7. Lower case means a minor third. Upper case means a major third. So a v7 is a minor seventh chord on the dominant (i.e. the fifth scale degree) whereas V7 is a dominant seventh chord on the dominant. 1, 4, and 5 are NOT always major, by the way. In a natural minor scale, for example, all three are minor.

The conventions of Roman Numeral Notation as I learned it are:

The case of the Roman numeral tells you whether the third is major or minor.
The value of the Roman numeral tells you the scale degree.
A sharp or flat that precedes the Roman numeral tells you it's based on a note outside the scale. For example, if a tune in G major has an F major chord in it, and you were writing in roman numeral notation, it would be bVII.
A seven indicates a minor seventh.
A "maj7" indicates a major seventh.
A plus indicates an augmented fifth.
A circle indicates diminished fifth.

It goes on and on. You can learn more online:
