Afternoon,
I'm trying to play the acoustic version of The Scientist. To date, I've been playing the capo version but I want to start with the proper version, the tabs Chris Martin plays in this video:

Now, these are the tabs I have picked up:

These are the exact chords he plays in the video, but what my problem is that the tab says tune top e to an F and play. I have done so using this:

...but the chords sound absolutely terrible. Even in standard tuning, you can still hear that string stand out from the others, highly disturbing.
Does anybody know, with conjunction to that tab because it's the right one, the proper tuning for it? F just doesn't sound right or it just could be the tuner I'm using.
Thanks
Rob
