Hi today, I want to do the acoustic version of day after day by bad finger
this is the studio version and it's quite beautiful and this is
Quite a bit of the rhythm behind the sound
Behind the track.
There's also some excellent piano playing by Leon Russell.
The slide part is done by
Pete Hamm in the beginning
but the solo in the middle and
Additional fills are a tag-teamed by Pete Hamm and George Harrison
As bad finger was the first band signed to the Apple label, so let me just go over the chords with you
We're going [N] to keep on the first fret
It's in standard tuning.
However, if you want to play along with the CD record or YouTube, it's a few cents sharp
So you can have to tune your guitar up a few cents on each string and then put the capo on
So the first chords going to be an [F] E
It's actually an F but with the capo it's an E
You also have an A
[Bb] We also have an Asus4
[Abm] [C] We have a B
We [Ab] have it [G] and F sharp
[Ab] Then we have [Bb] an A
[Eb] We have this looks like I'm presenting it [Dbm] as a C sharp minor
But actually that's if you play all five [Dm] strings
We're only gonna play [N] four.
So now it It
Don't know what you'd call it, but it is acting I
[F]
guess it's a
This is an F right here.
It's actually being a [G] short F at this [F] point
[C] The reason it's an F is [Ab] because we have the capo on here.
That's the actual [Fm] what this chord is an F
This right here is a four
String [F] chord is an [Bb] F.
So we haven't
[Ab]
Then the next chord would be an F [Gm] sharp minor
[F] and then back to
[C] So that's it for the chords on this song so I'm going to get into the part underneath the [Fm] intro
Which is [F] really just this
[Bb] [F]
So it's an E
[Bb]
Asus4 quickly
[F] [Bb]
[F]
[Abm] And then it goes into the end of the [Eb] song
[F] [Bb]
[F]
[Bb]
[F]
[C]
[G] F sharp
Hey
[F]
[Bb] [Ab] [C] B
[F] [Bb]
[Fm]
[C] [G] So when [Bb] we [F]
[Fm] [G] get to [Bb] this it's an A
She's [G] an A sharp, but with the [Bb] capo it's an A
You have to bang it out quick
[Ab] Then we go to the F hit it [F] twice
[D] F sharp, but it's an F, but it's really a C sharp minor presentation with a
four string as opposed to five string
[Gm] Then to the F sharp minor
[F] [Ab] So this is this is pretty much the trickiest part of the whole song
[Ab] So [F] that's how the verse goes then
So [Bb] [F]
[Bb] [F]
[C] [G] [Bb]
[F] [C]
[G] [Bb]
[Gm] [F] [E] at the end of the first verse you'll hear the [F] changes go like this hang on the A
[Bb]
Then to the A, [F] E for a little bit, [Bb]
then it's off to the second [F] verse
I'm a lonely man, [Bb] so I'll call me you [F] while you sleep
Every day [Bb] I feel the tears [F] as you sleep
[C] Looking out [G] for my lonely ghouls
[Bb] [F]
[C] [G]
[Bb] [G] [F]
[G] Now at the end of the second [Gb] verse
It's going to transition into the lead
So the guitar ends on that last D
[N] And now Leon Russell comes in and really dresses it up to the point where they start over with the verse for the lead part
But if you don't have Leon hanging around the house
Might be busy these days.
You never know
[F] You are going to finish on that chord you can strum it up and finish it and go [Bb] to an A
[F] up to this short F
[Bb]
[Fm] Then [F] back to the verse
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] [F] [Bb]
[C] Back to the chorus
[G] [A]
[F] [C]
[G] [Gm]
[F] Then after the the chorus after the solo then they there's
An A here [Bb] with the keyboard, but you won't have the keyboard so you can do the A
Then it's right back into the verse
[Bb]
[F]
[Bb]
[F]
[C] [G]
[Bb] [F]
[C] [G]
[Bb] [Gm]
[F] [Gb] Now the end of the song is going to be [F] like this this is the outro now
So it's on the E.
It keeps going [Bb] then goes to the A
[F] Then back to the E again, and that's how it ends so I hope that's clear [Fm] and I hope I
Didn't block your view on the fretboard with [G] the edge of my camera view so thank you
[Eb] Hope you got [N] that
