Here's the beginning melody transcribed for the guitar. (I was just messing around with 
and I thought I'd include it)
Feel free too add slurrs and whatnot to give it some flavor. It sounds cool with effects 
such.

Coldplay - Swallowed In The Sea
from the new album "X&Y"

	Tabbed by: Pbelmeister on Wednesday 9th of June 2005

Used Chords: 

E | B | g#m | F# | c#m


There is no real Verse/Chorus-Arrangement in this song, so I just wrote it down the way it is.
Actually we've got just two main chord patterns:

	1. E | B | g#m | F# | E | B  (B) | F#
	2. B | F# | g#m | B | F# | E  (E) | B

(Solo Vocal Passage:)

   B
	You cut me down a tree
	And brought it back to me
	And that's what made me see
	Where I was going wrong
	You put me on a shelf
	And kept me for yourself
	I can only blame myself
	You can only blame me

	    E               B	
	And I could write a song
	  g#m           F#
	A hundred miles long
	      E              B
	Well, that's where I belong
		          F#
	And you belong to me
            E                B
	And I could write it down
	   g#m           F#
	Or spread it all around
	    E                 B
	Get lost and then get found
	                    f#m         B
	Or swallowed in the sea


(Full Band:)

            B           F#
	You put me on a line
	    E             B         
	And hung me out to dry
	     F#                 E
	And darling that's when I
                         B   
	Decided to go to see you
            B              F#
	You cut me down to size
            E            B
	And opened up my eyes

        F#         E         	
        Made me realize
                         F#
	What I could not see


	    E               B
	And I could write a book
            g#m                  F#
	The one they'll say that shook
	    E 		       B
	The world, and then it took
			     F#
	It took it back from me

	    E                B
	And I could write it down
  	   g#m           F#
	Or spread it all around
	    E                 B
	Get lost and then get found
                                F#
	And you'll come back to me
            E                B
	Not swallowed in the sea



(Instrumental Bridge:    c#m  E  H  F#      [played 4 times])


	    E               B	
	And I could write a song
	  g#m           F#
	A hundred miles long
	      E              B
	Well, that's where I belong
		          F#
	And you belong with me
  
	    E               B	
	The streets you're walking on
	  g#m             F#
	A thousand houses long
	      E              B
	Well, that's where I belong
		            F#
	And you belong with me

	    E                 B	
	Oh what good is it to live
	     g#m             F#
	With nothing left to give
	   E           B
	Forget but not forgive
		           F#
	Not loving all you see

	    E               B	Coldplay
	The streets you're walking on
	  g#m             F#
	A thousand houses long
	      E              B
	Well, that's where I belong
		            F#
	And you belong with me
            E                B
	Not swallowed in the sea

         
        g#m             F#
	You belong with me
            E                B
	Not swallowed in the sea
              g#m             F#

	Yeah, you belong with me
            E                B
	Not swallowed in the sea
