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.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

[Intro] Gmaj Emin7 Bmin Gmaj Emin7 Bmin
Note: The acoustic version is just strum it all the way. But for the recorded version in their album, there is no acoustic only the electric guitar. So for the electric guitar will strum once at a time when the chords change.
[Verse 1]
BminGmaj Emin7 Bmin7 Oh no, I see, FmajAminGmaj A spider web is tangled up with me,
Emin7 Bmin7 And I lost my head,
FmajAminGmaj And thought of all the stupid things I’d said,
[Verse 2]
Gmaj Emin7 Bmin7 Oh no, what’s this,
FmajAminGmaj A spider web and I’m caught in the middle,
Gmaj Emin7 Bmin7 So I turned to run,
FmajAminGmaj And thought of all the stupid things I’ve done,
Note: Again these chords given can be played in acoustic guitar but for the electric guitar it is A7sus4 all the way using a kind of plucking or harmonic. Just listen to the song.
[Chorus]
Amaj Emin7 Ah, I never meant to cause you trouble,
Amaj Emin7 Ah, I never meant to do you wrong,
Amaj Emin7 Ah, well if I ever caused you trouble,
Amaj Emin7 Oh no, I never meant to do you harm,
Note: For the electric guitar is given in the tabs below. Use a slider. means slide down or slide to the lower note. / means slide up or slide to the higher note. ~ means vibrate or shiver your slider on that note.

Note: Same as the first chorus.
[Chorus]
Amaj Emin7 Singing, I never meant to cause you trouble,
Amaj Emin7 I never meant to do you wrong,
Amaj Emin7 Singing out, well if I ever caused you trouble,
Amaj Emin7 Oh no, I never meant to do you harm,
Note: Follow the same timing for all these three parts, electric, bass & electric guitar. I put up the bass too because it holds the back of the timing & also the groove for the piano. There is a '~' in between two bars, which means vibrate on the fret itself with the slider. Or slowly slide down with one pluck on that string.
