I used a sort of ethereal or phaser effect to give it a synth feel. Of course, is not original from Coldplay, so you are free to play it or not.     Intro: starts on the 3rd note of the piano. Play softly and let every note ring. Plays better with a pick. (Guy Plays the song with a pick anyway).     Piano --->| E D A (first three notes played) G---------|----------14------14---14------12------12---12---| D---------|-------14------14-----------14------14-----------| A---------|-----0-------0-------0----0-------0-------0------| E---------|-------------------------------------------------|   -------12------12---12------11------11---11------14------14---14----| ----14------14-----------12------12-----------14------14------------| --0-------0-------0----0-------0-------0----0-------0-------0-------| --------------------------------------------------------------------|   -------12------12---12------12------12---12-(11)---| ----14------14-----------14------14---------(12)---| --0-------0-------0----0-------0-------0----( 0)---| ---------------------------------------------------|     Verse 1: Same reason as above, only the riff is a little different.
