By Andrew Wojcik (lyra14@lycos.com) This is a very beautiful song, one of Coldplay's finest. I must first surrender responsibility of the original tab to Joe Brandon from http://suggestedtab.tripod.com (rimsky@thewavz.com). It was a very good tab (accurate), but it was in a very odd tuning (EAEAC#e). All I have done really is converted it into standard tuning. This tab is my own work. I think it's pretty correct (it's technically the same, you play the same notes), and I have played both versions (Mr. Brandon's and mine) and they sound almost the same, if the muting is done properly. Please be kind, despite it being fairly messy and simple, as this is my first tab. Here we go: Riff 1 x3 strum (listen to song for rythym) e]0----0----0----0----0------0----0--- B]5----7----9----2/4----4----2/4----4- G]x----x----9----x-----------x-------- D]x----x----x----x-----------x-------- A]4----6----x----2-----------2-------- E]0----0----0----0-----------0-------- Riff 2 0-------0--------0------0---0----0------0-----0---- 10---------10----9---9------2/4-----4---2/4-------4 x----------------9----------x-----------x---------- x----------------x----------x-----------x---------- 9-----9----------x----------2-----------2---------- 0----------------0----------0-----------0---------- Verse 1 is the same as riff 1, but it has a different rythym pattern. Once again, listen to the song.

Enjoy yourselves, this is a pretty easy song to play. But a word of advice. You have to mute strings quite a few times, use your other fingers, usually your 2nd and 3rd fingers (or sometimes just one of them) to mute them. Completely. If you have any problems or comments, don't hesitate to email me. Take care and God Bless, Andrew
