Chords with 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 augmentedA 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.

   is loud & it's tab all the way. So I put up chords.
