• Song:

    Strange Days

  • Artist:

    Matthew Good Band

This is my first public song deciphering but after studying videos of Matthew Good 
playing this live I think this is pretty freakin' close. 
Hope it works out for you! I may in the future do a video explaining the strumming 
pattern and changes but you should be able to pick it out by ear.
any comments or corrections my email is Kath.tastrophy@hotmail.com 

Most variations of his chords involve hammering on the G and B string in the 
second fret - so add that in where you deem suitable and you should be perfect.

but that's your discretion*


Intro
Dsus4 Dadd9


  Asus2            Eadd11
Good morning, don't cop out
    G                          Bm
You crawled from the cancer to land on your feet
        Asus2    E

G            Dsus4
Even for a while?
     Asus2        Eadd11
We're making this shit up

The reasons for being are easy to pay
    Asus2               E 
You can't remember the others
          G                Dsus4
They just kind of went away
        Asus2               Eadd11
So you're driving, it's rush hour
     G                      Dsus4
The cars on the freeway are moving like slugs
     Asus2             E
When you drift off to wake up
       G       Dadd9    D
Do you always hit the brakes?

      F#m   Asus2            D   
We're done lying for a living
                                   F#m                 Asus2
The strange days have come and you're you're gone ahhh you're gone
        D        
Either dead or dying

Either dead or trying to go



    Asus2            Eadd11    
It's evening, you're tired
    G                     Bm
You sleep walk, a robot out to the street
          Asus2   E           G            Dsus4 
Are you crazy to want this, even for a while? 
        Asus2        Eadd11
You're driving, it's rush hour
    G                         Bm     Aadd11   A
The cars on the freeway are moving backwards
  G     Dsus9        D 
Into a wall of fire
    Aadd11    A
Backwards
 G      Dsus9      D  
Into a wall of fire


      F#m   Asus2        D   
We're done lying for a living
                                      F#m         Asus2
The strange days have come and you're you're gone ahhh you're gone
        D        
Either dead or dying
        Bm                Aadd11 A G Dadd9 D
Either dead or trying to go

Dsus4 Dadd9

  Asus2            Eadd11    G Dadd9 D   
Good morning, don't cop out

Of course you'll have to listen to the song to get all the minor changes Matt 
makes with the chords this is just a rough guide!
Thanks! -Kat
