TUNING: E flat (eb Bb Gb Db Ab Eb) How to read these chord schemes?
INTRO
VERSE 1
I saw my friend the other day and I don't know
Exactly just what he became
It goes to show

CHORUS
It wasn't long ago
I was just like you
And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home

VERSE 2
How have I been, how have you been
It's been so long
What have you done with all your time
And what went wrong

CHORUS
I knew you back when
And you... You knew me
And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home

BRIDGE
Anybody ever say no?
Ever tell you that you weren't right?
Where did all the little kid go?
Did you lose it in a hateful fight?
And you know it's true

CHORUS
It wasn't long ago
I was just like you
And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home

How to read these chord schemes

1 - chord name, 2 - chord designation, 3 - chord scheme

Chord name

There is the name of a chord before the symbols. If it's "*" added to a name, it means that this chord is played in different positions during the song.

Chord designation

There are 6 symbols in a designation, read it from left to right. The first symbol defines the thickest string (6th string), the second symbol defines 5th string and so on.

"0" means open string

"x" means this string isnt played

"Number" means number of a fret.

Example:

x02220

6th string isnt played
5th string is open
4th string is played on 2nd fret
3rd string is played on 2nd fret
2nd string is played on 2nd fret
1st string is open

Chord scheme

Imagine that you are looking at the fret while playing guitar - the closest string to your eyes is the 6th, the thickest string. There are 6 horizontal lines defines strings, the upper one is the thinnest string (1st string).
And there are 4 lines defined frets - no exact frets numbers defined.
In some schemes there is a thick line on the left - it defines the nut.

  • "0" means open string
  • "x" means this string isnt played
  • Fat dots mean fingers positions

Example:

G5 355xxx
