Jonny's Tab for Paradise (Live)

[joncgbrown]

hello fellow coldplayers, i've noticed there has been quite a small influx of "accurate" Paradise tabs around the interwebs so i've decided to tab it out myself by ear and just watching Jonny play it live.

sooo give it a shot and tell me what you think yeah? i'm sure alot of you have heard the song many times by now to be able to piece the different parts together in order :P

and dont worry im pretty sure this is at least 99.99% accurate :lol:
