Band: Coldplay
Song: Poor Me
Album: None (Live Version)
Words & Music: Guy Berrymen, Jon Buckland, Will Champion & Chris Martin
From: Zachary
E-mail: cicak_cobing@yahoo.com
Note: Yeah, I know Coldplay don't really use Standard Tuning. But you
can't say like that because in Parachutes album they don't use
Standard Tuning but in A Rush Of Blood To The Head album they
use Standard Tuning all the way.
Standard Tuning: EADGbe
Note: To tab this song is not easy, because Chris Martin sings with a
"random vocals"(I think that's the right term, which means he
sings sharp & shouting type of vocals & change his tone every
now & then) that's making it confusing.
Chords Used:
e| X X 0 0 0 3
b| 10 8 0 2 1 3
G| 10 8 0 2 2 0
D| 8 6 2 2 2 0

Note: I can't hear any acoustic guitar in the song. The electric guitar
is loud & it's tab all the way. So I put up chords.
Intro:
Verse 1:
Poor me flowing out to sea,
An opportunity that went by,
Poor you now whatcha gonna do,
Whatcha gonna do you just cry,
Break:
Verse 2:
Poor you always come and go,
You're trying to discern,
You don't know why,
Poor you oh whatcha gonna do,
Come on love I'll see it through,
I don't know why,
Note: I can't get this part. Jonny was using tabs here. I believe he
himself can't get the tune of Chris singing. Haha!
