Washington, Dec 9 : Legendary guitarist Joe Satriani has accused rock band Coldplay for plagiarising one of his songs.

The 52-year-old veteran artist has filed a lawsuit at Los Angeles federal court against the band for their 2008 hit track Viva La Vida.

"Everybody assumes I''m trying to go after these guys in Coldplay, as if I''m doing this with malice - that''s the furthest thing from my mind,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.
