This is what Chris Martin plays on this Youtube video:

Tune up the high E-string to F, then play:
   Dm (xx0231@1) Bb (x1333x@1) F (133211@1)  Fsus (113311@1)name="chord_3x555x@1">C/G
F--0----0----0----0----x---|
B-10----6----1----1----8---|
G-10----7----2----0----9---|
D-12----8----3----3----10--|
A-12----8----3----3----10--|
E--x----x----x----x----x---|

Notes:
This is an edited version of Ver4, I fixed the mistakes. Check out my Youtube 
covers http://www.youtube.com/user/joshyboy152.

The song is in 4/4 time. All chords are played for a bar. Except whenever an Fsus chord
played and F chords is played for 2 beats then play Fsus for 2 beats.

Listen to the song in the Video to find out the strumming-pattern, it's pretty easy.

The chords are like bar chords except you use your thumb for the 6 string in this case
doesn't use his thumb or fret the high e string.
