"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
