Note: The first thing to do is tune your HIGH E string up to an F. This allows for all chords to be played smoothly and easily. I have based this tab off of seeing Jon Buckland play on stage. The Chords used are: Dm7 B Flat F Major Fsus2 F 0 F 0 F 0 F 0 B 1 B 6 B 1 B 1 G 2 G 7 G 2 G 0 D 0 D 8 D 3 D 3 A x A 8 A 3 A 3 E x E 6 (thumb) E 1 (thumb) E 1 (thumb) C/F C Major C/G F x F x F X B 1 B 1 B 1 G 0 G 0 G 0 D 2 D 2 D 2 A 3 A 3 A 3 E 1 (thumb) E 0 E 3 (Thumb) Intro The guitar doesnâ^À^Ùt come in until about 1:50 into the song but if you want to play along with the piano intro the chords are as fallows.
