TUNING: E (eBGDAE) How to read these chord schemes?
Desperate
But not hopeless
I feel so useless in the Murder City
Desperate
But not helpless
The clock strikes midnight
In the Murder City

I'm wide awake after the riot
This demonstration of our anguish
This empty laugher has no reason
Like a bottle of your favorite poison

We are the last call
And we're so pathetic

Desperate 
But not hopeless
I feel so useless in the Murder City
Desperate but not helpless
The clock strikes midnight
In the Murder City

Christian's crying in the bathroom
And I just want to bum a cigarette
We've come so far
We've been so wasted
It's written all over our faces

We are the last call
And we're so pathetic

Desperate 
But not hopeless
I feel so useless in the Murder City
Desperate but not helpless
The clock strikes midnight
In the Murder City

Desperate 
But not hopeless
I feel so useless in the Murder City
Desperate but not helpless
The clock strikes midnight
In the

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
