Coldplay - A Message
"Accoustic Part"


*please read first*
Hi guys, tabbed this nice song of coldplay. 
This is tabbed out of a live version in japan 2003. 
My Tab is 100% correct.
First of all you have to tune your thin E-string 4 halfsteps down to C,
like this: E A D G B C
If you wanna play the original song of the records, 
you will have to add a capo to the first fret.
But know we will check the live version.

First of all, the strummings:

in verse (and the end(don't strumm the x's)):
       D     D     D     D     D     D     D     D  U
c|-----------------------0-----------------------------------------|
B|-----0-----------------0-----------------0-----------------------|

A|-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0--0--------------|
E|-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0--0--------------|

       1     2     3     4     5     6     7     8     1

in chorus and solo:
       D     D  U  D     D     D  U  D     D     D  U
c|-----------------------0-----------------------------------------|

A|-----0-----0--0--0-----0-----0--0--0-----0-----0--0--------------|
E|-----0-----0--0--0-----0-----0--0--0-----0-----0--0--------------|

       1     2     3     4     5     6     7     8     1

D = strum down
U = strum up


Now the chords:
for verse, chorus and solo:
 C-major   e-minor   G-major   F-major   d-minor   C/G-major
c|---0-----|---0-----|---0-----|---0-----|---0-----|---0--|

A|---10----|---2-----|---5-----|---3-----|---12----|---3--|
E|---8-----|---0-----|---3-----|---1-----|---10----|---3--|

tip: pick the bass strings with your thumb

 C          em          2x G
And its so hard to see clearly

You don't have to be on your own
