Coldplay — Lovers In Japan Acoustic (ver 2) Chords

  Rate this tab: 
"Lovers In Japan" by Coldplay

CAPO ON 5, modeled on acoustic cover by Tyler Herrin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHqx4SUwrmk&feature=channe

Note: This is in F, but played with the capo on 5 and with the root note as C. It is not 
to the album version of the song! (which is in G)

The main benefit of playing this way is that it allows for the natural hammer on to 
the melody of the song. This is achieved hammering on the open and 2nd fret of the 4th 
(4th from the bottom).

However, it sounds close (not 100 percent sure) to in tune with this acoustic version of 
song by the band itself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhamV6qA5Cs

 	Am     	 F       C
They are turning my head out

But I have no doubt

One day, we are gonna get out
