We have an official Broken tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
There are a few tabs of this song on this site, however, none of them have got the
picking pattern in the intro correct.
I have taken the chords from the other tab that's on here as I'm pretty sure
that's correct, I've just added the correct intro.
I am 100% sure that this is correct.

Repeat this pattern for the intro and verse.
It then goes to straight chords.
 
[Intro]
 
C         Em       F
I'll wait here for you
        G          C
For I'm broken down
           Em        F
I'm coming down this time
       G
For my heart lies
 
 
[Verse]
 
G
Far and away where they took you down
G/F#                     C
Let them over to your house
         D
Where I'm broken.
G
Down by the people if they let you breathe
G/F#                                   C
Don't give a damn if you still can't see
         G
Still my heart beats, for you
 
 
[Picking]
 
Have become all I lost
And all I hoped for.
But I must carry on
Always one never broken.
 
 
[Verse]
 
G
Run to the lobby where I saw you try
G/F#                                C
Don't give a damn for your reasons why
D
Where so be it,
C                            CtoD
down in the valley where the church bells cry
G                   C       G
I'll lead them over to your eyes.
G   Em C      G
Woah, I am one,
C     C*
I am one.
 
 
[Picking]
 
Break a story of
Peace and love in a future
Bright sacrifice came around
Never broken
 
 
[Verse]
 
G
Down by the people if they let you breathe
G/F#
Don't give a damn if you still can't see
C
Travelling a street that I did not go,
D
used lifetime to the winter load.
C                            CtoD
down in the valley where the church bells cry
G                   C       G
I'll lead them over to your eyes.
G   Em C       G
Woah,   I am one,
  Em C    G
Woah, I am one.
 
And finally the picking pattern to end:
 
I am one..

320033 is a G chord most people just play it 320003 because they find it easier and its the most common way to play the G chord but 320033 is another way to play the G chord it is still a G chord. So you are misinformed on that one mate.

nice one! although Im quite sure that the first G chord in G (!Em!) C G I'll lead them over to your eyes. should be a Em instead! Otherwise, fantastic job!

I'm not sure, but i think the Intro/Verse is one fret above,and the chords are no capo. Is it true or no?
