THE SCIENTIST [ACOUSTIC] - COLDPLAY
An incredibly simple but fantastic song to play on an acoustic guitar!
There seems to be a lot of confusion about the key of the song.
It does state below that a capo is required, but for those that don't have a capo,
I have taken the liberty of putting a set of chords on which do not require a capo
and will allow you to play along with the CD.
EDIT [08/05/2020] - it's been a long time since I originally submitted this and I must say it will NOT let
you play along to the song. The tuning of the song is very unique. I think it's tuned in 4ths
[which basically means the high b and e strings become c and f. These strings are then played as open
throughout]. But even then it still doesn't quite sound right.
Oh well, I'm happy with my version as an acoustic...
