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!

4. 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.
