Okay what I am tabbing out here is the actual guitar TAB - no extra chords
for parts where there's no guitar playing, there's enough of that on this
site already, but strictly what the guitar(s) actually play in this song. 

The guitar doesn't even come in until the "High up above and down below"
verse (a strumming acoustic) and the famous riff on the last half of the
song. No one has tabbed it like this yet (maybe in the guitar pro, but not
normal tabs), so here you go.

As noted, the first stanza is played three times and then the second one is
played once. And then repeat that whole thing 3 times and that covers the
rest of the song as far as guitar parts go (As you know, everything drops
out except Chris Martin and his keyboard for the last refrain).
