Very depressing song. I get choked up watching the video.
===========Strange Days - Matthew Good Band

Tabbed by Adam Bishop

I found this tabbed by Aaron "cheesypoof69" (low-down@home.com), on the Oh Canada
Archive, but it wasn't totally right and he just made up chord names, which was very very
very confusing.  Then I forgot about the song for awhile, saw the video (which is very sad,
I think), figured it out on my own, then matched the two versions together, so I hope it's
right.  What I called the Amaj7/9 may actually be an E, but I (and Aaron, apparently)
hear it with an A bass note.

Tune down half a step

Dsus2    - xx0230
Dsus2/F# - 2x0230
A        - x02220
Amaj7/9  - x02100
G        - 320033
F#m      - 244222
D        - xx0232
G/F#     - 2x0033


Dsus2        Dsus2/F#

     A              Amaj7/9
Good morning, don't cop out
    G                          D
You crawled from the cancer to land on your feet
        A        Amaj7/9
Are you crazy to want this
G          D
Even for a while

We're making this shit up
The reasons for being are easy to pay
You can't remember the others
They just kind of went away

So you're driving, it's rush hour
The cars on the freeway are moving like slugs
When you drift off to wake up
Do you always hit the brakes?

      F#m  A           D
We're done lying for a living
    Dsus2                             F#m   A
The strange days have come and you're gone, you're gone
       Dsus2
You're dead or dying
Dsus2/F#          A         G    G/F#    Dsus2
Dead or trying to go

It's evening, you're tired
You sleep walk, a robot out on the street
Are you crazy to want this
Even for a while

You're driving, it's rush hour
The cars on the freeway are moving

A                G       G/F#    D
Backwards into a wall of fire
A                G       G/F#    D
Backwards into a wall of fire
A                G       G/F#    D
Backwards into a wall of fire
A                G       G/F#    D
Backwards into a wall of fire

We're done lying for a living
The strange days have come and you're gone, you're gone
We're done lying for a living
The strange days have come and you're gone, you're gone
You're dead or dying
Dead or trying to go
To go

     A              Amaj7/9        G    G/F#    Dsus2
Good morning, don't cop out
