This is a tab for the Lovers in Japan acoustic version in Maida Vale 

 

I was looking for a tab for this but couldnt find one, so decided to make one (just know this is my second ever tab but it is 90% accurate)

it got rejected from ultimate guitar, so i thought i'd post it here.

 

here it is:

Tuning: E A D G B D  (tune high E down to a D down a tone)
 
Capo 7
 
this is what Chris Martin plays in the performance

*Switch between fretting the 2nd and 4th fret of the G string on the verse chords to 
  make the main melody*

Lovers, keep on the road you're on
 
D/G                           D
Runners, until the race is run

Soldiers, you've got to soldier on

Sometimes even right is wrong
 
[Chorus]
 
         Bm         Gmaj7   D*
They are turning my head out
 
    A                    Bm
To see what I'm all about
 
           Gmaj7    D*
Keeping my head down
 
   A                        Bm
To see what it feels like now
 
     A         Gmaj7
But I have no doubt
 
Em              A          G
One day, we are gonna get out

Ohh ohh... ooh oh ohhhhhh
 
D/G                          D
Dreaming of when the morning comes
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         Bm         Gmaj7   D*
They are turning my head out
 
    A                    Bm
To see what I'm all about
 
           Gmaj7    D*
Keeping my head down
 
   A                        Bm
To see what it feels like now
