Coldplay - Lost Tabs

TITLE         : Lost
WRITTEN BY    : ?
PERFORMED BY  : COLDPLAY
ALBUM         : Viva La Difference ?-)

INTERPRETED BY: Monsty :)

Hmm ... It's debatable whether the "G" is a "Bm" in the verses.
        - Personally I like the "Bm" better in some places.
          I'm tempted to play it all thru the verses instead of 
          the "G" chord. - KISS
          I do, however, concede to those with a "keener ear", 
	  that it might indeed be the chord of "G" on the record ! 
	  - Try the "Bm" though, I think you'll like it :)

N.B. [...] = alternative chord

Guitar Break : Notice the switch of sequence between Bm and D
------------   - I don't really think it's necessary, but ...

( Em, C, Bm, D )

	An alternative way to play this Guitar Break is to use the
           -----------                  ------------
	2nd string ONLY and slide the notes up & down. 
	This is perhaps not so easy on an acoustic guitar where the
	neck usually meets the body at the 14th fret. 
	But is quite effective on an electric guitar. N.B. P = Pull-Off 
	- I'm sure you can think of other alternatives :)
        BTW from the 5th to the 15th is a big slide 
        - remember to hit the breaks !!!

1st time only
