Artist: Coldplay
Song: Fix you [04:55]
Album: X & Y
Tabber: Goran Kalamiza from Bjelovar, Croatia (wes7boiler@hotmail.com)
There are two guitars here:
1.Acoustic guitar (plays through whole song including the keyboard part,
with capo on 1st fret)
2.Electric guitar (plays piano part (I saw it on the Live8 concert!),
then the theme at the end of the song, and, again, I
saw one short riff on the chorus, so I´ll tab it too)
I´ve updated the chords -> there´s a Cm7 instead of Cm; You can see it below.
Instead of keyboard and piano, play these chords (on acoustic guitar):
(!!!with capo on 1st fret!!!)
[D# chord] [Gm chord]
I II III IV V I II III IV V

(##) = you don´t have to play that, I just think it sounds better with that
[[[VeRsE]]] [01:45]
High up above or down below
when you too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what your worth
[[[ChoRuS]]] [02:13]
Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Theme on electric guitar - slightly distorted
(normal tuning + high E string tuned down half a step):
(I streched this ´cuz 11´s are difficult to read when they´re
written together without space; it looks like there´s a bunch of 1´s.)
