Strange Days Chords & Tabs
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.
Tuning: half step down Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

but that's your discretion*
