    Strange Days

    Matthew Good Band

To best replicate the studio version, tune a half-step down. 

D and Dsus2 are varied many, many times in the song. I recommend playing Dsus2 in 
place of D at appropriate (read: subtler) points. If the chords are too close 
together, blame UG's auto-formatting. 

Intro

D                       F#/D

Verse

A                        Amaj9
Good morning    Don't cop out 

G                                   D				
You crawled from the cancer to     land on your feet 

  A  		        E
Are you crazy   to want this

G	         D	
Even for a   while?

A		    Amaj9
We're making this  shit up

    G				D 		
The reasons for being are   easy to pay

   A			   E
You can't remember the   others

   G			  D
They just kind of   went away

 A			Amaj9
So you're driving,  it's rush hour

 G	                  D                    
The cars on the freeway   are moving like slugs

  A		          E
When you drift off   to wake up

  G		G/f#	  D
Do you always  hit the   brakes?

Chorus

  F#m          A            D
We're done  lying for   a living
                                          F#m        A
The strange days have come and you're gone, you’re  gone

 D
Either dead or dying
  D/A                     A               F#m           D6(add9)
Dead or trying to go 

A		Amaj9
It's evening,  you're tired

 G                               D 
You sleep walk,  a robot out to the street

 A                       E               G               D
Are you crazy to want  this, even for  a while? 

 A		   Amaj9
You're driving,  it's rush hour

 G			       D (quiet til phrase end) A
[The cars on the freeway are  moving backwards
D           G      G/f#       D
Into a wall  of  fire           ]     x2


A
[Backwards
G           G/f#      D

F#m            A             D
We're done  lying for a  living

                                                  F#m
The strange days have come and you're gone

     A      D
You're  gone

  F#m              A             D
We're done lying  for a living

                                                  F#m        A
The strange days have come and you're gone
      D
Either dead or dying
D6(add9)                           A     B     A
Either dead or trying to go

To go

A
