Coldplay's great 2nd album produced in 2002. please leave feedback: paul06_lfc@hotmail.com 1.Politik This isn't really a guitar song, but this is a good guide to what the piano is playing. Chords defined: Low to high B7: x2120x Em: 022000 Am6: x32210 this could be called Am/C as well G: 320033 or 355433 (I think the latter, the bar chord, sounds better - relative to capo) D6: xx0432 D: xx0232 Capo 1! Intro: BEBEm B7 Look at earth from outer space Em everyone must find a place B7 give me time and give me space Em give me real, don't give me fake B7 give me strength, reserve, control Em give me heart and give me soul B7 give me time, give us a kiss B7 tell me you're a politik BEBEm B7 Em open up your eyes open up your eyes B7 Em open up your eyes open up your eyes B7 Give me one, cause one is best Em In confusion, confidence B7 give me peace of mind and trust Em don't forget the rest of us B7 give me strength, reserve, control Em give me heart and give me soul B7 Wars that heal and cracks that fix Em tell me you're a politik B7 Em open up your eyes open up your eyes B7 Em open up your eyes open up your eyes B7 Just open up your eyes EAGDD Here each chord is played the same amount of time (2 measures I think) except the D and D6, which are each played half as long as the other chords EAG6 D But give me love over, love over, love over this ... our love EAG6 D But give me love over, love over, love over this ... our love EAGDD EAGDDEm 2.

God put a smile upon your face Tuning: C# F# B E G# C# Chords used: E (022100) I've named these weird chords as if they were G (055400) barre chords and they are basically the chords F# (044300) indicated only without the barre.

The Scientist 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.
