THESE DAYS - Take That
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: John L.
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
*** CAPO I ***
1. If you're playing open chords, Em will sound best as this variation
with a G in the top voice (figure below):
e|---3----|
B|---0----|
G|---0----|
D|---2----| <----- To my ear, this is a better fit for the progression
A|---2----| than a standard open Em chord
E|---0----|
2. The rhythm is syncopated, but I've tried to indicate where the
chord changes occur within the phrases.
