"race for the prize"

here are the chords used:

  Fmaj7    Em7    F/C   Cmaj7    G      F      C

e---0-------x------x------x------3------1------0
B---1-------3------1------0------3------1------1
G---2-------0------2------0------0------2------0
D---3-------0------3------2------0------3------2
A---3-------2------3------3------2------3------3
E---x------(0)-----x------x------3------1------x

N.B it's important to dampen the strings not being used in the intro to really emphasise the
walking down bass pattern of E D C B (the E in Fmaj7, the D in Em7, the C in C/F and the
B in Cmaj7) so keep the chords really tight and it'll sound great. The open E string on the
Em7 chord is optional, but i think it makes the chord sound "dirty".

INTRO

this is the keyboard part arranged for guitar with added chords for your strumming pleasure:

C                   F
Two scientists were racing

        G              C
For the good of all mankind

            F
Both of the side by side

C               G
So Determined

C                F
Locked in heated battle

        G                  C
For the cure that is their prize

            F
But it's so dangerous

    C
But they're determined


Fmaj7
Theirs is to win

Em7
If it kills them

Fmaj7
They're just humans
     G
With wives and children


REPEAT INTRO

C              F
Upwards to the vanguard

          G               C
Where the pressure is too high

          F
Under the microscope

C                    G
Hope against hope


C               F
Forging for the future

       G                C
But to sarcrifice their lives

             F
Both of them side by side

C
So determined



Fmaj7
Theirs is to win

Em7
If it kills them

Fmaj7
They're just humans

     G
With wives and children

REPEAT INTRO

Fmaj7
Theirs is to win

Em7
It will kill them

Fmaj7
They're just humans

     G
With wives and children
