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 capoand 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 itwill NOT letyou play along to the song. The tuning of the song is very unique. I think it's tuned in4ths(which basically means the high b and e strings become c and f. These strings are then played as openthroughout). But even then it still doesn't quite sound right.
Oh well, I'm happy with my version as an acoustic...
