Yellow Acústico Cifra por Coldplay
Capotraste: Sem capotraste
So I heard this version of "Yellow" from a video of Coldplay performing live at
the BBC. Will plays resonator for this version but a regular guitar will work too.
Hope it's accurate and that it works for you guys.
To see the video look here (now removed unfortunately)

Chords: D x00232
A xx7655
G xx5433
I think it's fairly simple and basic and better for those who have deeper voices
to sing it like Chris does in this version.
