TUNING - E A C# G B C# for both guitars

Another great tuning off the Parachutes album. This tuning also appears
on We Never Change.
Some of these shapes are difficult to play but Im positive that they are
correct.
Using your thumb to play notes on the low E string will help
you play these chords.

============================================================================================================================

CHORDS: Strings low to high.

----------------------------
C#m = x4o65o |
F#m = 24o22o |
E = o2o12o | o = open string
A = 57o65o | x = string not played
G#m = 46o44o |
C#m7 = x4o6oo |
E6 = x7o9oo |
Bsus2 = 79o8oo |
B = 79o87o |
Ebm7b5 = (11)x(12)(11)(10)o |
G# = 46o54o |
G#sus4
= 46o64o |
F# = 24o32o |
----------------------------

starts to strum C#m for two bars)

VERSE 1:

F#m E
I awake to find no piece of mind,
A G#m
I said how do you live as a fugutive?
F#m E
Down here where I cannot see so clear,
A G#m
I said what do I know? Show me the right way to go,
F#m G#m
And the spies came out of the water,
A G#m
But you're feeling so bad 'cause you know,
F#m E
And the spies hide out in every corner,
A B
But you can't touch them no, 'cause they're all spies,

Great tab. Only thing is at the beginning its an electric using a slide from 14 to 16 instead of a bend. Martin does the acoustic and Buckland does the lead electric, like most Coldplay songs. But no big deal.





Good job!
