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.

That's it, M20's version of Long Day. Enjoy and happy playing!
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. Cheers . . .

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----------------------------)

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!
