These Are The Days

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.
