Note: So far, I think this is a real happy song from Coldplay ever

since they started. Enjoy! I have a strong feeling that both

acoustic & electric guitars is not Standard Tuning or maybe only

the acoustic guitar. But anyway if you think it is other tunings

then do so & change the chords notation given below. So that it

will sound almost the same.

Standard Tuning: EADGbe

Chords Used:

e| 0 1 3 0

b| 1 1 3 2

G| 0 2 0 0

D| 2 3 0 2

A| 3 3 2 0

E| 0 1 3 X

Note: Verse 1 & Verse 2 don't really have lots of guitaring but anyway

here is the chords.

Verse 1:

I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost,

For a life of sin I have paid the cost,

As I walk by all the people say,

Just another guy on the lost highway,

Verse 2:

Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine,

And a woman's life makes a life like mine,

On the day we met, I went astray,

I started going down that lost highway,

Note: You just got to listen to the song to understand this part. This

is a acoustic part done by Chris while Jonny is on the electric

in the 3rd & 4th verse. For those who don't know, p is pull off

or drag to another barr in 1 strike, h is hammer or hit your

finger on 1 barr with 1 finger on the lower barr in 1 strike, r

is release your finger on a higher barr with another finger on

the lower barr in 1 strike. So below you'll see that I've mixed

in both plucking & struming into a tab chart.

Note: Here the music gets hotter. So just play it on all the way.

Verse 3:

I was just a lad, only twenty two,

Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you,

On the day we met, it's too late to pray,

I started going down that lost highway,

Verse 4:

Now boys don't start to ramblin' round,

On this road of sin are you sorrow bound,

Take my advice or you'll curse the day,

You started rollin' down that lost highway,

You started goin' down that lost highway,

Goin' down that lost highway,

Goin' down that lost highway,

Note: I guess everything is not lost here, maybe for the instrumental

part I might miss some stuff there cause I can't trace every

single thing that Chris do. So enjoy the song!
