Band: Coldplay
Song: Moses
Album: None (Live in Dallas - 31st Jan 2003)
Words & Music: Guy Berrymen, Jon Buckland, Will Champion & Chris Martin
From: Zachary

Note: Tabs are based on the hearing the song and listening to two
      different versions of Moses. I use a lot from the live in Dallas
      version (it's a full version) & the other is Chris alone (that's
      just the 1st verse & 1 chorus). In this song I picked up the bass
      guitar first, the only the guitars.

Standard Tuning: EADGbe

Chords Used:

  Cmaj Amin Fmaj Gmaj Bb Cmaj7 G(barr)
e| 0    0    1    3    0   0      3
b| 1    1    1    3    3   0      3
G| 0    2    2    0    3   5      4

Note: Okay, I'll give you guys the bass guitar tab just to let you have
      some understanding of how it is going to be. But listen to the
      song too. The electric guitar 1 could be playing Cmaj7 Gbarr too.

Note: After the 6th line of the bridge, Jonny start the tabs, but it's 
      not really the same. It's just a progression of the lead tabs
      (The on which the 2nd guitarist always do).
      Guitar chords given is for the electric guitar 1, tabs for
      electric 2.

Note: The tabs is just a simple one. It's for sure I can't trace every
      single thing that Chris & Jonny play. It's just that, when you're
      in the song you'll know what to do. This is my advice, listen to
      the song first, then enjoy!
