The Acoustic Part:

The first thing you need to do is re-tune the strings to E A B G B D#;

this then allows you to play the following chords (the names of which
may
well be wrong!):
Bmaj
Badd11
F#6
Emaj7
G#m
F#m7add11
D#|----0----|----0----|----0----|----0----|----0----|----1----|
B |----0----|----0----|----2----|----0----|----0----|----0----|
G |----8----|----9----|----3----|----1----|----2----|----2----|
B |----0----|----0----|----4----|----0----|----2----|----2----|
A |----9----|----9----|----4----|----2----|----x----|----x----|
E |----7----|----7----|----2----|----0----|----2----|----2----|
(These are easier to play if you use your thumb to fret the notes on
the E
string)
And the song goes:
Intro:

[B, Badd11] (x2)

Verse:

[B, F#6, Emaj7] (x4)

Chorus: [Emaj7, G#m, F#6] (x3), then Emaj7

Verse
Chorus
Verse
Middle: (same chords as verse progression; play twice)
Outro:

B, F#m7add11, Emaj7

The Electric Part:

The bit on the electric guitar is (supposedly) in standard tuning
(ie. E A D G B E), and therefore, to play along with the chords above,
the
chords need to be played as below (not sure if these are right):

E
B
G
D
A
E

Bmaj
Badd11
F#6
Emaj7
G#m
F#m7add11
|----x----|----0----|----2----|----0----|----4----|----2----|
|----4----|----4----|----4----|----0----|----4----|----2----|
|----4----|----4----|----3----|----1----|----4----|----2----|
|----4----|----4----|----4----|----1----|----6----|----2----|
|----2----|----2----|----x----|----2----|----6----|----2----|
|----x----|----x----|----2----|----0----|----4----|----2----|

In addition, below is the riff used in between sections of the song:

(N.B. b = bend string; r = release bend; ~ = keep string bent;
/ & \ = slide up/down)
E

And (finally!) this is the little lick that gets played over the
chorus:

Coldplay - 'Yellow'

revised by ben

Reg did a great job with this, but after watching Chris play it, the
only
change I would make is that occasionally he uses an E9 instead of E7.
I
have seen them a few times and it seems improvisatory; just kind of
throws it in, usually when the rest of| the band is playing too; he
always
uses the maj7 in the solo parts.
