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.
