Capo: 4

The version I first posted (and is posted at other places on UG) sounds good, it really does, but this is how M20 play it. I'll leave the original version I posted here, just in case. The words in (brackets) are still applicable. ^=Up Stroke V=Down Stroke CAPO 4 CHORDS

OK, I got a version of this, but I thought that there was room for some improvements. So it is, my version of Long Day. It works for me, maybe it'll work for me I'm not sure, hope it does.

Pause, then come into 2nd part of verse one louder, heavier, maybe with a bit of I don't really know, I don't have an electric, only electric acoustic.

Chorus:

Now comes the solo. Play the chorus under it, I'm pretty sure, but maybe just play see what you can come up with for yourself. Pre-chorus: (Gentle, single strums----------------------------)

It's ^Amme, yeah well I^F can't get ^Cmyself to go ^Gaway (-------------------)(Harder, louder, multiple strums again) ^GHe-ey, it's ^Amme, and ^FI can't get myself to go ^Caway

Then I play the chorus again normally, but Rob sings the word 'Right' over and over and stuff or something or other, and I haven't figured that bit out yet but, I just play the again normally, then play the last F chord, and hold, fade out. This should all be right, but I'm not too sure if I've put the chord letters eg G C Am F the right words because I first did this on Microsoft Word, then copied and pasted, and re-arranged most of the letters. I think it's all right though, but maybe not 100% the way I play it. Anyway, this is how I play it, barring any little mistakes I may have made with the . . . Enjoy!
