Because I couldn't find a tab of the Billie Jean cover by Coldplay, I watched a 
of Billie Jean
over and over again, until I got it.
The way Coldplay performs this song is in one word: Brilliant!
Leave a comment if you think something is wrong with this tab.

This is the part John Buckland plays:

Riff A

e|——————————————————————————|
B|——————————————————————————|
G|——————————————————————————|  Repeat 12 times.
D|——————————————————————————|  You can mute the notes if that sounds better to you.
A|———10————8—10—8———————————|
E|——————10————————10—8—10———|


Then the next riff comes in, after Chris Martin sings: 'She said I'm the one' in the 1st verse.

Riff B

e|——————————————————————————|
B|——————————————————————————|
G|——————————————————————————|  Play this riff 2 times.
D|———10————8—10—8———————————|
A|——————10————————10—8—10———|
E|——————————————————————————|

After Riff B, play Riff A again.


There is an other guitar (Will Champion, COldplay drummer) in this song. He strums a few 
while John plays the riff.


This is the part of Will in the verse:

     Bm   C#m     D  C#m
e|——————————————————————————|
B|————3———5———————7———5—————|
G|————4———6———————7———6—————|   Repeat the whole verse,
D|————4———6———————7———6—————|   Listen to the song for the rhythm.
A|————2———4———————5———4—————|
E|——————————————————————————|

OR

e|————2———4———————5———4—————|
B|————2———4———————5———4—————|
G|————2———4———————6———4—————|   Or you can play this. But I don't
D|——————————————————————————|   believe this is the way Will plays it.
A|——————————————————————————|
E|——————————————————————————|

The outro (solo) by John Buckland:
               FH               FH
e|—————————————————|—————————————————|
B|—————————————————|—————————————————|
G|———5—5h7—5———5h7—|————5h7—5———5h7——|  Repeat 7 times.
D|———————————8—————|——8———————8——————|
A|—————————————————|—————————————————|
E|—————————————————|—————————————————|

e|———————————————|
B|———————————————|
G|—————5h7\\\\\——|
D|———8———————————|
A|———————————————|
E|———————————————|


h  = Hammer—on
FH = Fast Hammer—On
\\ = Slide down the neck


I hope you liked my tab of Coldplay's Billie Jean.
