Adam Lambert - Mad World by Misc Unsigned Bands Adam Lambert - Mad World (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. Not so sure about the key though. It to me like it was in D. But anyway, if you play with these chords it sounds great. This basically a short version of the original Tears for Fears version. There are some changes in the lyris of the first verse, the rest are same as the original.
