coldplay songs so if you want me to give you the chords to any others, please feel free
email me on joshhj@btconnect.com and i'll see what i can do for you.
Happy playing!
The Tuning is EADGBd
And you'll need a CAPO on the 6th fret.

I find I prefer this one to the other tab, as this is much easier and sounds almost identical to the actual song. great job to the author! this tab may have no reviews and fewer ratings but the quality is just as swell.

Love this tab! I haven’t tried it with the high e tuned down to d, which I’ve seen in another tab, but this sounds gorgeous. Thanks.
