@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.

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

About this song: The Scientist
Chris Martin wrote "The Scientist" after listening to George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass". In an interview with Rolling Stone, Martin revealed that while working on the band's second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head, he knew that the album was missing something. One night, during a stay in Liverpool, Martin found an old piano that was out of tune. He wanted to work on George Harrison's song "Isn't It a Pity", but he could not manage to do so.
