Tabbed by: Jake Machado
My e-mail for questions or comments: jake_machado22@yahoo.com
I thought I'd try to tab out this video from Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkMGf2_NKvs
I also tabbed this version on Powertab @ Ultimate-Guitar.com under "The Scientist Acoustic".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Key of F Major (I think.)
Guitars tuned to E , A , D , G , B , C
Tune high e string down to c
"[ ]"= one measure.
"( )"= previous chord continued. AKA ghost notes.
Here are what I think the chords are that Chris Martin plays in this video:
( E , A , D , G , B , C )
Dm7 ----10,12,12,10,10,0
A# --6,8,8,7,6,0
F ------1,3,3,2,1,0
Fsus2 --1,3,3,0,1,0
C ------8,10,10.9.8.0
[Intro]
[ F ][ F , Fsus2 ]x1
[Verse]
Dm7 A# F
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry.
Fsus2 Dm7
You don't know how lovely you aaaaaaaaaaare.
( Dm7 ) A# F
I had to find you, tell you I need you,
Fsus2 Dm7
tell you I'll set you apaaaaaaaart.
( Dm7 ) A# F
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions.
Fsus2 Dm7
Oh lets go back to the staaaaaaaaaaart.
( Dm7 ) A# F
Running in circles, coming up tails,
Fsus2 A#
heads are a science apaaaaaaaaaart
[Chorus]
( A# ) F Fsus2 A#
Nobody said it was easy. Oh it's such a shame for us to part.
( A# ) F Fsus2 C
Nobody said it was easy. No one ever said that it would be this haaaard.
( C stopped) F
Oh take me back to the start.
[Interlude]
[ F cont' D ][ A# ][ F ][ F , Fsus2 ]x1
[Verse]
Dm7 A# F
I was just guessing at numbers and figures.
Fsus2 Dm7
Pulling your puzzles apaaaaaaaart.
( Dm7 ) A# F
Questions of science, science and progress.
Fsus2 Dm7
Do not speak as loud as my hearrrrrrrrrt.
( Dm7 ) A# F
So tell me you love me, or come back and haunt me.
Fsus2 Dm7
Oh and I rush to the staaaaaaaart.
( Dm7 ) A# F
Running in circles, chasing our tails.
Fsus2 A#
Coming back as we aaaaaaaaare.
[Chorus]
( A# ) F Fsus2 A#
Nobody said it was easy. Oh it's such a shame for us to part.
( A# ) F Fsus2 C
Nobody said it was easy. No one ever said that it would be this hard
( C stopped) F
Oh take me back to the start.
(Here is where Jonny Buckland comes in. He just strums open strings
with his finger on the 12th fret on the A string. Then when they
get to the 3rd measure, or "f" he bends that 12th fret on the A
string to a 3/4 bend and release to standard pitch. He bends the
string four times each measure of [ F ] and [ F , Fsus2 ]. AKA the
third and fourth measures. I know it's confusing, just watch the
video carefully and you'll get it.)
[Interlude]
[ F cont' D ][ A# ][ F ][ F , Fsus2 ]x1
[Outro]
[ Dm7 ][ A# ][ F ][ F , Fsus2 ]x1
Dm7 A# F Fsus2
Oh, oooooooo, oooo-oooo-oooo, oooooooooooo
Dm7 A# F Fsus2
Oh, oooooooo, oooo-oooo-oooo, oooooooooooo
Dm7 A# F Fsus2
Ah, oooooooo, oooo-oooo-oooo, oooooooooooo
Then Chris Martin by himself for last part. Lowered volume of guitar too.
End on a downstroke of "F".
Dm7 A# F (Downstroke)
Oh, oooooooo, oooo-oooo-oooo, oooooooooooo
