Strange Days Are Here to Stay chords & tabs

TUNING: E (eBGDAE) How to read these chord schemes?

We stumble down the avenue
Like fairy dust, and ballyhoo
They promised us forever
But we got less

There's no such thing as promises
Just secret codes from alphabets
They promised us forever
But we got less

These are the best of times
Twisted and borrowed times
These are the loneliest of times

Strange days are here to stay
Ever since Bowie died
It hasn't been the same
All the madmen going mental
Grandma's on the fentanyl now
Strange days are here to stay

This is how the world will end
When superheroes play pretend
They promised us forever
But we got less

It's the return of the blob
And Jesus gonna quit his job
He promised us forever
But we got less

These are the best of times
Twisted and borrowed times
These are the loneliest of times

Strange days are here to stay
Everyone is racist
And the Uber's running late
I just lost my sense of humor
Gen-z killing, baby boomer now
Strange days are here to stay

Lonely boy
With a heart made of hate
Baby Babylon
And making guns made out of clay

Are we in hell?
Or is this just a fantasy?
I can't see this ending well
Now that it's too late

Strange days are here to stay
Ever since Bowie died
It hasn't been the same
All the madmen going mental
Grandma's on the fentanyl now
Strange days are here to stay

Strange days are here to stay
Strange days are here to stay

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
