Version 3The Flaming Lips "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: Fmaj7 Em7 C/F Cmaj7 G e|--0------3-3-0-5--3-----------3-3-0-5--3---------3-3-0-5--3-----------------| e|-0-------| B|--1------------------3--------------------1------------------0-------1--3---| B|------3--| G|---------------------0--------------------2------------------0-------2--4---| G|---------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|x2 D|---------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------| 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 [Interlude] This is the keyboard part arranged for guitar with added chords for your strumming pleasure: Fmaj7 Em7 C/F Cmaj7 G e|--0------3-3-0-5--3-----------3-3-0-5--3---------3-3-0-5--3-----------------| e|-0-------| B|--1------------------3--------------------1------------------0-------1--3---| B|------3--| G|---------------------0--------------------2------------------0-------2--4---| G|---------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|x2 D|---------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------| 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 [Interlude] This is the keyboard part arranged for guitar with added chords for your strumming pleasure: Fmaj7 Em7 C/F Cmaj7 G e|--0------3-3-0-5--3-----------3-3-0-5--3---------3-3-0-5--3-----------------| e|-0-------| B|--1------------------3--------------------1------------------0-------1--3---| B|------3--| G|---------------------0--------------------2------------------0-------2--4---| G|---------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|x2 D|---------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------| Fmaj7 Theirs is to win Em7 It will kill them Fmaj7 They're just humans G With wives and children
