Coldplay es una banda británica de estilo Britpop/Rock alternativo. Se formó en 1998, y es conocida por sus letras suaves e introspectivas.
Los miembros de Coldplay se conocieron en la Universidad de Londres en septiembre de 1996. Primero se juntaron Martin y Buckland, y ya para el 8 de enero de 1998, Coldplay completó su formación, al unirse Will Champion. Él sabía tocar el piano, la guitarra y el bajo, y aunque no sabía tocar la batería, aprendió rápidamente.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
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)

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.
