How to play The Scientist by Coldplay on guitar
These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 5 you play Am, F, C, G, the shapes the player above shows.
The chart has four main chords: F, A#, Dm and C. A# is a barre chord. The others are open shapes. The change you will play most is A# to F, 14 times in the chart, so practise that one first. It runs at about 74 beats a minute.
Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
