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:
Cmaj Fmaj Gmaj A7
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:
Cmaj Fmaj
I’m a rollin’ stone all alone and lost,
Gmaj A7
For a life of sin I have paid the cost,
Fmaj Gmaj
As I walk by all the people say,
A7 Fmaj Cmaj
Just another guy on the lost highway,
Verse 2:
Cmaj Fmaj
Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine,
Gmaj A7
And a woman’s life makes a life like mine,
Fmaj Gmaj
On the day we met, I went astray,
A7 Fmaj Cmaj
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:
Cmaj Fmaj
I was just a lad, only twenty two,
Gmaj A7
Neither good nor bad, just a kid like you,
Fmaj Gmaj
On the day we met, it’s too late to pray,
A7 Fmaj Cmaj
I started going down that lost highway,
Verse 4:
Cmaj Fmaj
Now boys don’t start to ramblin’ round,
Gmaj A7
On this road of sin are you sorrow bound,
Fmaj Gmaj
Take my advice or you’ll curse the day,
A7 Fmaj Cmaj
You started rollin’ down that lost highway,
A7 Fmaj Cmaj
You started goin’ down that lost highway,
A7 Fmaj Cmaj
Goin’ down that lost highway,
A7 Fmaj Cmaj
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!
