COLDPLAY - "trouble acoustic" Tablature

Official COLDPLAY Tablature & Sheet Music »

I've seen a wicked version of Trouble by Coldplay on VH1, with just an accoustic guitar and
vocals. Although it's not exactly the same, I've worked out an accoustic version of the song
with (I think) a really cool sound. I'm relying on a lot of open strings to give it a folky
sort of feel, but give it a try and tell me what you think...

To play these chords, you'll probably need to play with a "thumb over" style as I do...
