These Are The Days
View chords used in this chart
Notes:
The G chord voicing sometimes has the pinky on 3rd
fret of B string and sometimes no pinky. Experiment
with those voicings at different parts in the song
and you will hear where they fit.
The D add (4) is created by moving the C shape up 2
frets, and only playing the middle 4 strings.
Adrianne walks down from the C chord into the Am on
the way into the Chorus listen and youll hear it.
