This file is my own work based off of the Coldplay Live 2003
DVD.

Note: The first thing to do is tune your HIGH E string up
to an F. This allows for all chords to be played smoothly
and easily. I have based this tab off of seeing Jon
Buckland play on stage.

The Chords used are:

Dm7 	B Flat		F Major		Fsus2

F 0	F 0		F 0		F 0
B 1	B 6		B 1		B 1
G 2	G 7		G 2		G 0
D 0	D 8		D 3		D 3
A x	A 8		A 3		A 3
E x	E 6 (thumb)	E 1 (thumb)	E 1 (thumb)

C/F			C Major 		C/G

F x			F x			F X
B 1			B 1			B 1
G 0			G 0			G 0
D 2			D 2			D 2
A 3			A 3			A 3
E 1 (thumb)		E 0			E 3 (Thumb)

Intro

The guitar doesn't come in until about 1:50 into the song
but if you want to play along with the piano intro the
chords are as fallows.

Dm7  B flat  F Major  F sus2

Chorus

Play the intro chord pattern through the chorus and then
transition the Chords C/F  Fsus2  C Major and C/G as
fallows...

F Major		  C/F  	  Fsus2	  C Major

No one   ever   said it   would be   this hard.


Strum C/B once.		Oh take me back to the start...



F Major	    B Flat 	F Major 	Dm7	B
Flat	   F Major		Fsus2


Note: When the lyrics Oh take me back to the start come in
is when Jon Buckland starts playing.

Play the Intro Chords again for the second verse. The song
repeats itself twice.

The outro Chords are as fallows

Dm7	B flat	F Major

Play this until the end of the song and end on an F major.
