These Are The Days
Chords by: William Perkins (wperkin@okstate.edu)
This is a neat song in the key of Eb. It uses the chords Eb, Ab, Bb and
Cm. I would suggest using the folling shapes: D, G, A, Bm, respectively
with capo on I. Or C, F, G, Am, with the capo on III. Tempo is about 110.
The chord progression goes through the intro, then the first verse section
*twice* (substiting the Eb in parenthesis the second time through), then
verse 3, and then the outro. I have the neat guitar riff at the bottom.

Here's the guitar riff, syncopated 16ths. Play this four times at bars
33-40 (that's twice at the end of verse 2, and twice at the beginning
of verse 3). Then, play it twice at bars 85-88 (last four measures of
verse 3), and continue to play it throught the outro.

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 10000 MANIACS 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.
