To the best of my knowledge this is the way to play "Ugly Day." But as
anybody who tries to tab this out will find, there are a LOT of changes
and stuff, so I'm probably wrong on a lot of things. It sounds good
though played alone, or with the CD though.
See notes at the bottom for any asterisks (*)
Intro:
The song starts with the rhythm guitar playing a D while the lead plays
this:
e-----------------------------
B-----------------------------
G-----------------------------
D-0-4-0------0-2-0----------
A-------2----------4-2-0-----
E---------3-------------------
Verse 1:
D G
I don't know just how this happened
D A
Didn't think it ever could
D G
I'm the author of sappy love songs
Bm A*
Trading in my batchelorhood
Em A
Something snapped deep inside me
D G
Something that somebody said
B A G
I felt the brush of angels wings and your voice echoed in my head
Chorus:
D A G A
Ugly Day, sun is shining
D A Bm G
Every cloud's got a silver lining
D A G A
Ugly Day, skies are blue
G Bm A
Now every day is ugly without you
Verse 2:
You are the one pure thing
That I've always prayed for
Scales are falling from my eyes
Must have been so blind before
I would lie down on the street
Keep the dust off of your feet
I would kneel each time I kiss you
Anything; Christie I miss
-Chorus-
Bridge:("Whoa-oh" part)
G-D
Now it gets tricky. After bridge the key gets moved up 1 step from D to
E.
So.....
Verse 3:
E A
Today was an ugly one
E B
Just like all the others
E A
All the flowers and the birds
C# B**
Make me feel smothered
F# B
I would lie down on the street
E A
Keep the dust off of your feet
C# B
I would kneel each time I kiss you
A
Anything; Christie I miss you
2nd Chorus:
E B A B
Ugly Day, sun is shining
E B C#m A
Every cloud's got a silver lining
E B A B
Ugly Day, skies are blue
A C#m B
Now every day is ugly without you
-2nd Chorus-
2nd Bridge:
A-E

* This may sound funny sometimes when compared to the CD, so if you want
you can throw in a quick F#-F-E fill to kinda make it sound "better",
cause that is what the horns are playing over the A chord that the guitar
is playing
** Basically the same thing as the first *, but because of the key change
the fill would be: G#-G-F#
