the chords flow well together and sound very nice, however the pitch of the ukulele chords does not match the pitch of the original song. this isn’t a big problem and it definitely wouldn’t stop me from playing the song using these chords!! they’re beautiful!! :)

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.
