A TALK TAB
 
Tabbed by Scott Mills
Music by Coldplay
Lyrics by Colplay
 
The following is interpreted directly from the
song and not for the song (as some have tried to add to it).
 
The tabs and chords are those that are present in the music as
far as I can tell, including points at which the guitar is not
even played, but could be.

Joey is right.
I'm pretty sure you need to move the part in the intro that goes 11/13 15 up a onto the B string. And then the end of the intro all notes up on the next highest string.
It's a good tab.great job mate
