Strange Days Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I've to panic, but[F] not to panic buy[C] I've
been trained to buy things my [F]whole
entire life
[G]And if I'm[C] not gonna leave
[F]the house for two
weeks
We're [C]gonna need [G]something to [C]eat
I didn't go crazy, just [F]some cans of food
[C]Two bags of pasta,
some [G]unperishables
There was a [C]meme going
round about [F]toilet roll
So [C]I made sure we [G]had some of that and
all
[C]And the very next day all
[F]the shelves are deserted
[C]And everybody's streaming it [G]live
On
Facebook now every[C]one can see
That [F]something big is happening
And [C]the system that we know [G]so well
is slowly unravelling
[F]And everybody everywhere
[G]stand[C]s to be affected
And [F]the word of the day [G]is unprecedented
[C]It's been a really really
really [F]strange day
The only [C]thing we know
for sure [G]is
everything has changed.
[F]Strange [C]day, oh yes indeed. [G]I'm
gonna keep on washing them
till my hands [C]are clean.
From the supermarket [F]to the hospital,
[C]the stocks
are dwindling and the beds
[F]are al[G]most full.
An incom[C]ing disaster [F]for our
NHS as
They ana[C]lyse the numbers an
[G]d brace for impact
We are told [C]to keep our distance from
[F]other human being[C]s
Don't go to work or attend
[F]any gather[G]ings
And every [C]time I cough I
[F]feel like I'm infected
An[C]d if it doesn't kill me [G]I'll
play my part in spreading it
But [F]what on the [G]street seems to
[C]carry on as planned
[F]The train station's crowded
[G]and the pub's [C]around
It's been another couple of [F]strange days
The [C]only thing we know for sure
[G]is everything has changed
And if [F]we can't follow advice,
[G]then new law[C]s will be drawn
And [F]for everybody's bene[G]fit,
we now must stay indoor[C]s
Locked down and locked on to govern
[F]ment announce[C]ments
Business is closed as [F]the death toll [G]rises
Trying [C]to do our best to
[F]understand the curve
[C]As is everybody in every
[G]country in the world
[C]Loved ones are lost [F]without
a last goodbye
[C]The hospitals are full now [F]an
d there's no end in [G]sight
We're [C]all isolated,
[F]alone and in the distance
And that's nev[C]er been healthy
for [G]us as human beings
As [F]the fear, the pan[G]ic and
depression [C]takes over
The [F]vulnerable people are
[G]more vulnerable than [C]ever
[F]Strange days
The only [C]thing that's certain now [G]is
Everything has changed
But we [F]must hold on [G]to our hope
And know [C]that it will pass
An[F]d from t[G]he ashes
Lessons must be [C]learned
Now the curtain has fallen
We've [F]revealed our true colours
[C]And realised the importance
Of [F]delivery [G]drivers
[C]Doctors and nurses
An[F]d people stacking shelves
[C]These are the ones
Who [G]de serve our applause
[C]And if we stand a chance
At [F]defeating this virus
[C]We'll have to rediscover our [F]faith in [G]science,
in order [C]to survive.
[F]We must work together,
cos [C]the virus doesn't care about [G]religions or borders.
As [F]we mourn [G]our dead, and our days [C]gone by,
and [F]prepare for the biggest [G]change in our
[C]lives.
[F]Strange days, [C]the only thing that's certain now
[G]is everything has changed
[F]Strange [C]days, oh yes indeed,
[G]the whole world must unite to fight this common enemy
