I haven't played A Strange Day in a long while but I sort of remember
it this way:
A B G
Give me your eyes that I can see
A B G
The blind man kissing my hands
The sun is humming
My head turns to dust as he plays on his knees
..
F G
And the sand and the sea glows I close my eyes
F G
Move slowly through drowning waves
A B
Going away on a strange day
And I laugh as I drift in the wind
Blind
Dancing on a beach of stone
Cherish the faces as they wait for the end
A sudden hush across the water
And we're here again
E F
My head falls back and the walls crashed in
G A
And the sky and the impossible explodes
B C
And for one moment I remember a song
D
An expression of sounds
E
And the everything is gone forever
That's about what I remember, Robert's lead is very easily played on
the 2 thinest strings I could post the notes if you can't figure it
out.
Let me know how it goes.

Here's this solo, hope I can make the notation clear.
The different lines are the different strings of your guitar starting
with the thinnest up and going down to the thickest. The numbers are
the fret you have to hold.
And then everything is gone forever ...
1 - 3 1 0 3 1 0 0 1 3 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 3 1
2 - 3 3 3 1 0 1 3 3 1 0 1 0
3 - 2 0
4 -
5 -
6 -
So it starts on the thinnest string with G-F-E and then on the next
string with D, back to the thin string with G-F-E and so on ...
Also during the "My head falls back ..." verse, the lead guitar plays
E-F-G-A-B-C-D-E-F on the thinnest string.
Let me know if I'm clear?
Also, has any one else played something I posted, how did it go?
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official CURE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
