Coldplay is a British alternative rock band formed in London in 1996. The band's singer/pianist Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion, met at University College London and came together from 1996 to 1998. During these two years, the band changed names from Pectoralz to Starfish and, finally, to Coldplay. Creative director and former manager Phil Harvey is often referred to as the fifth member by the band.

Band: Coldplay Song: Lost Highway Live in Toronto 6th May 2001 Words & Music: Hank Williams, Sr. From: Zachary E-mail: [email protected]
Note: I have a strong feeling that both acoustic & electric guitars is not Standard Tuning or maybe only the acoustic guitar. But anyway if you think it is other tunings then do so & change the chords notation given below. So that it will sound almost the same.
Note: Verse 1 & Verse 2 don't really have lots of guitaring but anyway here is the chords.
Verse 1:
CmajFmaj I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost,
GmajA7 For a life of sin I have paid the cost,
FmajGmaj As I walk by all the people say,
A7FmajCmaj Just another guy on the lost highway,
Verse 2:
CmajFmaj Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine,
GmajA7 And a woman's life makes a life like mine,
FmajGmaj On the day we met, I went astray,
A7FmajCmaj I started going down that lost highway,
Note: You just got to listen to the song to understand this part. This is a acoustic part done by Chris while Jonny is on the electric in the 3rd & 4th verse. For those who don't know, p is pull off or drag to another barr in 1 strike, h is hammer or hit your finger on 1 barr with 1 finger on the lower barr in 1 strike, r is release your finger on a higher barr with another finger on the lower barr in 1 strike. So below you'll see that I've mixed in both plucking & struming into a tab chart.

Note: Here the music gets hotter. So just play it on all the way.
Verse 3:
CmajFmaj I was just a lad, only twenty two,
GmajA7 Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you,
FmajGmaj On the day we met, it's too late to pray,
A7FmajCmaj I started going down that lost highway,
Verse 4:
CmajFmaj Now boys don't start to ramblin' round,
GmajA7 On this road of sin are you sorrow bound,
FmajGmaj Take my advice or you'll curse the day,
A7FmajCmaj You started rollin' down that lost highway,
A7FmajCmaj You started goin' down that lost highway,
A7FmajCmaj Goin' down that lost highway,
A7FmajCmaj Goin' down that lost highway,
Note: I guess everything is not lost here, maybe for the instrumental part I might miss some stuff there cause I can't trace every single thing that Chris do. So enjoy the song!
