Life in Technicolor ii acoustic - Coldplay

This is my interpretation of what Chris Martin plays during live performances. I think it is the most accurate
version of the chord variations and tuning he uses for this song.

Use this video for reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNjC5ixoHP4

Tuning: EADGc#c# (same as Violet Hill, check out version 8)

F#m D A A/G# C#m E
c#|----0-----|----0-----|----0-----|----0-----|----0-----|----0-----|
c#|----0-----|----0-----|----0-----|----0-----|----0-----|----0-----|
G |----2-----|----11----|----6-----|----6-----|----9-----|----1-----|
D |----4-----|----12----|----7-----|----7-----|----11----|----2-----|
A |----4-----|----12----|----7-----|----7-----|----11----|----2-----|
E |----2-----|----10----|----5-----|----4-----|----9-----|----0-----|

Note: use thumb to hold down the notes on the E string. Also, the A/G# chord is not necessary, it can be
ignored and the normal A can be played instead. However, the song does sound better with A/G# and this is the
way Chris plays it.
