Artist: Coldplay Song: Always In My Head Album: Ghost Stories (2014) Guitar (Jonny Buckland): Standard Tuning Please note: This is the album version. I used the live video of the song to figure out this tab, but Jonny varies the order of the riff parts, when he plays it live. So I took the both parts and put them in the correct order of the album version. The guitar part in the verse is only played live. I think on the album there're only a few keyboards/synths for this part. That's all: Have fun! - Intro - // Reverb + Delay ----------------------------| -------13-------13----13----| ----10----------------------| 4 x ----------12/15----12-------| ----------------------------| ----------------------------| ----------------------------| -------13-------15----13----| ----10----------------------| 2 x ----------12/15----15-------| ----------------------------| ----------------------------| ----------------------------| -------13-------13----13----| ----10----------------------| 1 x ----------12/15----12-------| ----------------------------| ----------------------------| ----------------------------| -------13-------15----13----| ----10----------------------| 1 x ----------12/15----15-------| ----------------------------| ----------------------------| ----------------------------| -------13-------15----13----| ----10----------------------| 1 x ----------12/15----15-------| ----------------------------| ----------------------------| ----------------------------| -------13-------13----13----| ----10----------------------| 3 x ----------12/15----12-------| ----------------------------| ----------------------------| ----------------------------| -------13-------15----13----| ----10----------------------| 2 x ----------12/15----15-------| ----------------------------| ----------------------------| ----------------------------| -------13-------13----13----| ----10----------------------| 1 x ----------12/15----12-------| ----------------------------| ----------------------------| ----------------------------| -------13-------15----13----| ----10----------------------| 1 x ----------12/15----15-------| ----------------------------| ----------------------------| - Verse - (only live) // Reverb + Sustain "I think of you / I haven't slept I think I do, but / I don't forget..."
