Hurts Like Heaven Chords

Anybody know the chords to Hurts Like Heaven or fancies helping me out with the tuning? As far as I can tell Chris uses a capo on the 6th fret and it's an open tuning as you often see him not fretting any notes while strumming.

MX? Chris doesn't play guitar on MX...

He does, he starts off on piano and switches to guitar. Looking close it looks like he's only fretting the top 3 strings so I reckon I can work out the tuning, I'll whack a tab up here when I do.

He plays guitar on Hurts Like Heaven, do you mean that? I can't seem to hear any guitar from him on MX...

Yeah, isn't Mylo Xyloto the official name for Hurts Like Heaven?

 

EDIT: Scratch that, for some reason it's engrained into my head that Mylo Xyloto was the first track of the album followed by Paradise, didn't even notice Hurts Like Heaven there.

Cheers, got it down anyway, only 3 chords in the song!

Guess so if you include the open chord :P

Yes, the last chorus has a little extra! I don't know what is being played on the guitar but the bass plays:

 

F	Eb
Woho-ooh
Bb
Woho-oooh

D
It's true
F
When you
		Eb
Use your heart as a weapon
	Bb
It hurts like heaven
