Coldplay – Poor Me



Note: Yeah, I know Coldplay don't really use Standard Tuning. But you
      can't say like that because in Parachutes album they don't use
      Standard Tuning but in A Rush Of Blood To The Head album they
      use Standard Tuning all the way.

Standard Tuning: EADGbe

Note: To tab this song is not easy, because Chris Martin sings with a
      "random vocals"(I think that's the right term, which means he
      sings sharp & shouting type of vocals & change his tone every
      now & then) that's making it confusing.

Note: I can't hear any acoustic guitar in the song. The electric guitar
      is loud & it's tab all the way. So I put up chords.

Note: I can't get this part. Jonny was using tabs here. I believe he
      himself can't get the tune of Chris singing. Haha!
