Title		: Politik
Artist		: Coldplay
Album		: A Rush Of Blood to the Head
Track No	                : 1

This is my interpretation of the song. It sounds almost perfect. Its a real 
'bangy' kinda song. So, just 'bang' away i.e. strum downwards really hard 
for the intro and chorus but slow down (strum gently) during the verses.

This song is one of the more 'unconventional' Coldplay tracks. Very 
different from their original style if you ask me. I enjoyed their 
performance of this track during the 2003 Grammys together with the ochestra 
and all. Certainly one of the highlights of the event. Its on suprise that 
they won a Grammy for their album.

Anyways, let me know if there are any suggestions or changes. Comments are 
always welcomed. Cheers.
