Poor Me
guitar tabs lyrics
--------------------------#
Band: Coldplay
Song: Poor Me
Album: None (Live Version)
Words & Music: Guy Berrymen, Jon Buckland, Will Champion & Chris Martin
From: Zachary

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.
