Chords

A ukulele version. Transposed to Gm so that the main riff hits the lowest note on ukulele. This also allows to play some melody notes, I recommend playing C after C7 in time with the riff. STRUMMING: Double time, only down strums. Strumming in the chorus is slightly irregular, go with your feel :) Beside playing riff melody with C7 you can experiment with Gsus4 instead of Gm for accented beats in chorus, and with sneaking in a brief C#/G just before C on "I know" also in chorus. Chord changes in verses are on: 1, 4&, 7& Chord changes in choruses are on: 1, 4& CHORD VOICINGS: GCEA Gm 0231 Dmadd4 0210 C7 0001 (play C 0003 with the riff melody) Dm 2210 Eb 0331 C 0003 Bb 3211 Csus4 0013 TAB LEGEND: (n) Ghost note / Slide up ==============================================================================================

[Verse 1]
   Gm              Dmadd4     C7
Goddamn this dusty room, this hazy afternoon

    Gm                Dmadd4               C7
I'm breathing in this silence like never before

     Gm             Dmadd4    C7
This feeling that I get. This one last cigarette

     Gm            Dmadd4                            C7
As I lay awake and wait for you to come through that door

    Gm            Dmadd4                    C7
Oh, maybe, maybe, maybe I can share it with you

    Gm                  Dmadd4                      C7
I behave, I behave, I behave so I can share it with you
[Chorus]
        Gm              Dm                 Eb           C
You are not alone, dear loneliness. You forgot, but I remember this

    Bb                  Dmadd4                          C    Csus4  C
Oh, stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know

    Gm              Dm               Eb           C
I'm not alone, dear loneliness. I forgot that I remember this

   Bb                  Dmadd4                          C     Csus4  C
So stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened I know, oh-    oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
      Gm              Dmadd4   C7
And I dream about somewhere, a smoke will fill the air

     Gm            Dmadd4                        C7
As I lay awake and wait for you to walk out that door

      Gm                          Dmadd4                         C7
I can change, I can change, I can change, but who you want me to be?

        Gm                          Dmadd4                       C7
I'm the same, I'm the same, I'm the same, what do you want me to be?
