------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THESE DAYS - The Tallest Man on Earth ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: SmallestMOE Tuning: EADGBe I tried to tab this song, which is a cover from the Tallest man on earth of a song called "These days" from Jackson Browne. You can hear this song at this link : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Wvkt6R39pw I think the chords are right. For the picking pattern, this is some kind of travis picking, a lot ask for a tab of this song, and nobody seems to provide one so i tried my best but it's probably wrong. Anyway, there is 2 parts in the song + outro.

And finally outro after last verse. It's the same progression during every verse. Lyrics : Well I've been out walking I don't do that much talking these days These days- These days I seem to think a lot About the things that I forgot to do For you And all the times I had the chance to And I had a lover It's so hard to risk another these days These days- Now if I seem to be afraid To live the life I have made in song Well it's just that I've been losing so long I'll keep on moving Things are bound to be improving these days These days- These days I sit on corner stones And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend Don't confront me with my failures I had not forgotten them Enjoy :) ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note | b Bend | pb Pre-bend | br Bend release | pbr Pre-bend release | brb Bend release bend ************************************
