Chords

The guitar doesn't even come in until the "High up above and down below" verse (a strumming acoustic) and the famous riff on the last half of the song. No one has tabbed it like this yet (maybe in the guitar pro, but not normal tabs), so here you go. Verse 3 – Guitar 1 (Acoustic)

As noted, the first stanza is played three times and then the second one is played once. And then repeat that whole thing 3 times and that covers the rest of the song as far as guitar parts go (As you know, everything drops out except Chris Martin and his keyboard for the last refrain). ************************************ | / Slide up | ~ Vibrato ************************************
