Fix You Tab

FIX YOU ~ COLDPLAY

Tabbed by Mellowecho


For the most part this song is primarily played on the piano and lead guitar - all I have is an acoustic guitar so that's they way I'm going to tab it. If you listen carefully you can hear the rhythm guitar parts on some of the later verses and choruses.


Tuning - Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (if you want to play along to the CD - if not standard works ok)
