@mycozy2000 so you mean to add +2 to this version? Like this?:
https://www.ukulele-tabs.com/uke-songs/coldplay/the-scientist-uke-tab-12139.html?steps=+2
If so it's +4.5 above original tuning in the end. Or did you want to add 2 to original version? Because you need to transpose this version -1 in this case, and it's way more complicated i think.

Nevermind actually, the screen was showing the original as +2, the original is the easiest.

+2 is probably the easiest to do for those wondering!

Probably the nicest version on ukulele-tabs so far, there's a nicer version out there based around EM7, C, G and Dsus4
