From: Dag Hjermann ***** Good Day ***** Thinking back to "Stink" and "Sorry ma", who would think that Paul was capable of writing this song? Well, I think I've finally got most of the harmonies about right. I've worked a lot with it, SO PLAY IT, suckers. It's not as complicated as it may look like... most of the chords are minor variations of each other. Chords (LOTS of'em): ============================================================== 1 . . . . . 0 0 . . 2 7 7 7 7 7 2 0 7 4 3 8 6 9 8 6 2 1 6 4 4 9 8 9 9 8 2 2 8 6 5 . . . 7 6 . . . . 6 7 7 7 . . . . 6 4 -------------------------------------------------------------- B F#/B Bmaj7 B/E(1) F#/D# A/E E F#/Bb Abm ============================================================== 1 x x x x x 2 2 2 2 5 4 5 8 6 4 2 4 3 6 5 6 8 6 4 3 4 4 7 6 6 8 6 x x x 5 . . 4 6 4 . . . 6 5 4 . . . 0 2 4 -------------------------------------------------------------- A Ab C#m D# C# B/E(2) F# B/G# ============================================================== ============================================================== I play the bass on the lowest string, whichever that is. Here's how I play it - a bit of the first verse, just as an example: B F#/B Bmaj7 F#/B 1--------------------------------------------------------------- 2----7-------7-------7-------7-------7-------7-------7------7--- 3----8-------8-------6-------6-------9-------9-------6------6--- 4--------9-------9-------8-------8-------9-------9-------8-----8 5--------------------------------------------------------------- 6----7---------------7---------------7---------------7---------- Good day doesn't have to be a B/E F#/D# A/E E 1------------------------------------0-------0-------0------0--- 2----7-------7-------7-------7-------2-------2-------0------0--- 3----8-------8-------6-------6-----------2-------2-------1-----1 4--------9-------9-------8-------8---2---------------2---------- 5----7---------------6------------------------------------------ 6--------------------------------------------------------------- fri- day doesn't need to be your B F#/B Bmaj7 F#/Bb 1--------------------------------------------------------------- 2----7-------7-------7-------7-------7-------7-------7------7--- 3----8-------8-------6-------6-------9-------9-------6------6--- 4--------9-------9-------8-------8-------9-------9-------8-----8 5--------------------------------------------------------------- 6----7---------------7---------------7---------------6---------- birth- day ... and so on ... ================================================================== OK, here we go.
