These Are The Days
Chords by: William Perkins (wperkin@okstate.edu)

This is a neat song in the key of Eb.  It uses the chords Eb, Ab, Bb and
Cm.  I would suggest using the folling shapes: D, G, A, Bm, respectively
with capo on I.  Or C, F, G, Am, with the capo on III.  Tempo is about 110.
The chord progression goes through the intro, then the first verse section
*twice* (substiting the Eb in parenthesis the second time through), then
verse 3, and then the outro.  I have the neat guitar riff at the bottom.

Chord Shapes:
  CAPO I orCAPO III
  Eb: xx0232  Eb: x32010
  Ab: 320033  Ab: 133211
  Bb: x02220  Bb: 320033
  Cm: x24432  Cm: x02210
