Clocks - Coldplay

Although this tune is mainly a piano piece, lots of people were requesting it so being 
a pianist
as well as a guitarist, I thought I'd tab it for you. I suggest as it is Eb that you play it 
with
a capo on the 1st fret.

NOTE THAT THE TAB IS FOR A GUITAR WITHOUT A CAPO!!!

Eb                  Bbm
Lights go out and I can't be saved,

Tides that I tried to swim against,

Have put me down upon my knees,

Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singin',

Eb              Bbm
  Come out have things I've said,

Bbm            Fm
Shoot an apple off my head, an' a,

Eb             Bbm
  Trouble that can be named,

Tigers waitin' to be tamed, singin',

  Come out upon ma' seas,

Bbm                Fm
