This is the part John Buckland plays:
Riff A
| e | |
| B | |
| G | | Repeat 12 times. |
| D | | You can mute the notes if that sounds better to you. |
| A | 10 8 10 8 |
| E | 10 10 8 10 |
Then the next riff comes in, after Chris Martin sings: 'She said I'm the one' in the 1st verse.
Riff B
| e | |
| B | |
| G | | Play this riff 2 times. |
| D | 10 8 10 8 |
| A | 10 10 8 10 |
| E | |
After Riff B, play Riff A again.
There is an other guitar (Will Champion, COldplay drummer) in this song. He strums a few
While John plays the riff.
This is the part of Will in the verse:
Bm C#m D C#m
| e | |
| B | 3 5 7 5 |
| G | 4 6 7 6 | Repeat the whole verse, |
| D | 4 6 7 6 | Listen to the song for the rhythm. |
| A | 2 4 5 4 |
| E | |
OR
| e | 2 4 5 4 |
| B | 2 4 5 4 |
| G | 2 4 6 4 | Or you can play this. But | don't |
| D | | believe this is the way Will plays it. |
