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.
