COLDPLAY FOR DUMMIES
i love this song and all the tabs i found when i really stank at guitar were
REALLY complicated so i sorta made up my own version, yeh ive played this in
public so it aint half bad, its a good place to start if u just wanna say
u can play coldplay when someone asks what u can play....
oh yeh and mr tab man/woman, i know u probably have enough versions of this but spare
a thought for the nooby guitarist who just wants to play somethin....
coz we all used to be one.....
oh this is the first thing i have ever tabbed ever so PLEASE email me to make
me feel like i didnt do this just to get my name on a website

ok well here is my extremely abbreviated intro.. 3 strings... love it.. anyway
-0-0---0--2---4-------------------------------------------------
-----0------0---0-4-4---4--4-4---4------------------------------
----------------------4--------4--------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
ok and after uve played that a few times i stik this on the end to actually make
it sound like a song not just u stuffing around....
X2
--6-6---6-5---5---2--2---2--2-2---2-----------------------------
------0-----0---0------0--------0-------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
ok this is my REALLY basic verse... u can change this around... i normally do
but this is the main jist....
-0-0---0--4---4---2-2---2--2-2---2------------------------------
-----0------0---0-----0--------0--------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
so u lost ur trust.......
ok heres the bridgy chorus bit, this sounds best if u slide from fret 9 to 4
and then back up when u play it the second time....i rekon sliding from
4 to 7 is too much.. but each to his.her own.... ive heard it done
(semi tragically) before... X 2 and then the intro again
--9-9---9--4---7---4---4-5-5---5-5------------------------------
------0------0---0---0-------0----------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
in a bullet proof vest.....
ummm oh yeh the last bit and i know... u lost your trust.... etc.
just play the 2nd part of the intro:
--6-6---6-5---5---2--2---2--2-2---2-----------------------------
------0-----0---0------0--------0-------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------
k thats pretty much it... u just play the sections in the right order...
u can pretty much finish on any section that takes ur fancy...
ending on an open e string is always nice...
