Misc Unsigned Bands — Adam Lambert - Mad World Chords
Adam Lambert — Mad World — Live Version (Tears for Fears cover)
American Idol Performance on 7th April, 2009
Tabbed by: Asif Zaman
Date: 14th April, 2009
Tuning: Standard
Note: I am pretty sure about the chord sequence. I have fixed the key to A.
This basically a short version of the original Tears for Fears version. There are some
in the lyris of the first verse, the rest are same as the original.
You can ignore the A5 chords and play it as Am if you want. But A5 sounds better if you
plucking.
