Makes me hesitant to believe that it's 100% correct when "tuning" is spelled "tunning"

1 nothing special, we already knew for ages!
2 chords are incorrect, because chris uses his thumb on the low e string

Hi I'm the same person that started this thread, sorry if that link doesn't work..
Here are the chords:

Code:

Violet Hill-Coldplay
Tabbed by: Zergio107 
Rythm guitar
Tuning: EADGc#c#


     C#m       C#m7/B	     A         F#m	   Fm 	    Em	         B         G#m         E		
	   
c#|----0-----|----0-----|----0-----|----0-----|----0-----|---0-----|-----0----|-----0----|-----0----|
c#|----0-----|----0-----|----0-----|----0-----|----0-----|---0-----|-----0----|-----0----|-----0----|
G |----9-----|----9-----|----6-----|----2-----|----1-----|---0-----|-----8----|-----4----|----13----|
D |---11-----|---11-----|----7-----|----4-----|----3-----|---2-----|-----9----|-----6----|----14----|
A |---11-----|---11-----|----7-----|----4-----|----3-----|---2-----|-----9----|-----6----|----14----|
E |----9-----|----7-----|----5-----|----2-----|----1-----|---0-----|-----7----|-----4----|----12----|


Note:
-You can replace the C#m7/B chord for the B chord (Chris uses both chords););)
-You can play Life in technicolor ii and daylight with this tuning.  :D :D:D:D      

Verse 1:

C#m    	                                         C#m7/B
Was a long and dark December from the rooftops I remember 
          A            F#m   Fm   Em
There was snow, white snow 
 C#m                                          C#m7/B
Clearly I remember from the windows they were watching 
          A            F#m   Fm   Em
While we froze down below 
                A                   B                      C#m    
When the future's architectured by a carnival of idiots on show 
                 B            
You'd better lie low 


Chorus:

G#m     A   G#m E        C#m B   C#m    
If you love me won’t you let me know? 


Verse 2:

      C#m                                           C#m7/B
Was a long and dark December when the banks became cathedrals 
                A           F#m    Fm    Em
And the fog, became God 
 C#m    
Priests clutched onto bibles 
                          C#m7/B
Hollowed out to fit their rifles 
         A           F#m   Fm   Em
And the cross  held aloft 
A                          B
Bury me in armour when I'm dead and hit the ground 
              C#m           B
My nerves are poles that unfroze


Chorus:

G#m     A   G#m E        C#m B   C#m    
If you love me won’t you let me know? 


Solo:

     C#m      C#m7/B	 A          F#	    Fm 	    Em  

     C#m      C#m7/B	 A          F#	    Fm 	    Em  


Verse 3:

        A                            B
I don't want to be a soldier who the captain of some sinking ship 
      C#m       B     
Would stow, far below 


Chorus:

   G#m     A   G#m E         C#m B  C#m    
So if you love me  Why'd you let me go? 


Outro:

A   B       C#m  F#m     E  C#m     B   A 
  I took my love down to violet hill 
A     B  C#m G#m      A
There we sat in the snow 
A   B    C#m  F#m     E  C#m      B 
All that time she was silent still 
 
   G#m     A   G#m E         C#m B   A 
So If you love me  won’t you let me know? 
G#m     A   G#m E         C#m B  C#m    
If you love me, Won't you let me know

The verse part after the A isn't only Fm#, Fm, Em. It's played one octave higher as powerchord and then F#, F, E, Eb (while Johnny uses Drop-D tuning and plays the same chords like 444, 333, 222, 111; Guy plays the same notes as Chris)

Well if you watch a live performance like that one that is posted, you can see that Chris only plays Fm#, Fm, Em.
Also you can see that Jonny has his guitar tuned to:
Db
Ab
Db
Gb
Bb
Eb
And I'm not sure but guy has tuned his bass to:
D
A
D
G

You can see guitar tunings when looking at a guitar? Watch from 0:10, you will see that Johnny uses Drop-D and plays what I said. Guy uses standard tuning and also plays what I said. The reason is: Changing bass tunings does not make any sense (except where it makes sense but as you don't play full chords it almost never does). AND you can see that Guy doesn't change his bass after Violet Hill, so he plays the other songs with the same tuning he plays Violet Hill.

I've got to say that I haven't watched the video when I wrote my first post and.. I'm wrong :O but you're also, so I'm okay with it

If you watch the video you posted above or the Live In Tokyo record, you can hear that Chris plays what I said when playing this part first (You can hear it really clear in Live In Tokyo). The other times he plays F#m, Fm, Em like you said and then goes over to Ebm in the 11th fret. You can see that on your video when you go to 1:45. (And you still can hear that he plays 4 chords and not only 3)
