Coldplay – Lost Highway

Chords used: Cmaj, Fmaj, Gmaj, A7
Progression: Cmaj, Fmaj, Gmaj, A7

Note: So far, I think this is a real happy song from Coldplay ever
since they started. Enjoy! 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

Standard Tuning: EADGbe

Used:

e| 0 1 3 0
b| 1 1 3 2
G| 0 2 0 0
D| 2 3 0 2
A| 3 3 2 0
E| 0 1 3 X

Note: Verse 1 & Verse 2 don’t really have lots of guitaring but anyway
here is the chords

Verse 1:

I’m a rollin’ stone all alone and lost,

For a life of sin I have paid the cost,

As I walk by all the people say,

Just another guy on the lost highway,

Verse 2:

Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine,

And a woman’s life makes a life like mine,

On the day we met, I went astray,

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:

I was just a lad, only twenty two,

Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you,

On the day we met, it’s too late to pray,

I started going down that lost highway,

Verse 4:

Now boys don’t start to ramblin’ round,

On this road of sin are you sorrow bound,

Take my advice or you’ll curse the day,

You started rollin’ down that lost highway,

You started goin’ down that lost highway,

Goin’ down that lost highway,

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!
