Band: Coldplay
Song: Poor Me
Album: None (Live Version)
Words & Music: Guy Berrymen, Jon Buckland, Will Champion & Chris Martin
From: Zachary
E-mail: cicak_cobing@yahoo.com

Note: Yeah, I know Coldplay don't really use Standard Tuning. But you
      can't say like that because in Parachutes album they don't use
      Standard Tuning but in A Rush Of Blood To The Head album they
      use Standard Tuning all the way.

Standard Tuning: EADGbe

Note: To tab this song is not easy, because Chris Martin sings with a
      "random vocals"(I think that's the right term, which means he
      sings sharp & shouting type of vocals & change his tone every
      now & then) that's making it confusing.

Note: I can't hear any acoustic guitar in the song. The electric guitar
      is loud & it's tab all the way. So I put up chords.
