Coldplay é uma banda britânica de rock alternativo fundada em 1996 na Inglaterra pelo vocalista e pianista Chris Martin e o guitarrista Jonny Buckland no University College London. Antes do lançamento do primeiro álbum, Parachutes, a banda gravou e lançou três EP; Safety em 1998, Brothers & Sisters e The Blue Room em 1999. Este último foi o primeiro lançamento da banda por uma grande gravadora, depois de assinar contrato com a Parlophone.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
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.
