TUNING: E (eBGDAE) How to read these chord schemes?
Shoplifter you'll never learn
When you commit the crime
Shoplifter your getting burned
And now you gotta the time

It's a one, two, three on the felony
Well not everything is free
Now that you've served the community
It's a life of a petty thief

It's not considered stealing
Unless your getting caught
But you be caught stealing
Trying to take something you haven't got

Shoplifter you'll never learn
With lies behind your back
Not a burgular, or a bankrobber just a kleptomaniac

It's not considered stealing
Unless your getting caught
But you be caught stealing
Trying to take something you haven't got

Shoplifter you'll never learn
When you commit the crime
Shoplifter your getting burned
And now you gotta do the time
Well now you gotta do the time
Well now you gotta do some time

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
