Disclaimer: Any resemblance between this tab and the way the song actually sounds is purely coincidental :) Comments welcomed, Corrections recomended!!! >From: Mario Dorion SSE Sun Montreal I haven't played A Strange Day in a long while but I sort of remember it this way: A B G Give.. A B G The .. The .. My .. .. F G And .. F G Move .. A B Going .. And I .. Blind Dancing .. Cherish .. A .. And .. E F My .. G A And .. B C And .. D An .. E And .. That's about what I remember, Robert's lead is very easily played on the 2 thinest strings I could post the notes if you can't figure it out. Let me know how it goes. -- >From: Mario Dorion SSE Sun Montreal Here's this solo, hope I can make the notation clear. The different lines are the different strings of your guitar starting with the thinnest up and going down to the thickest. The numbers are the fret you have to hold. And then everything is gone forever ... 1 - 3 1 0 3 1 0 0 1 3 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 3 1 2 - 3 3 3 1 0 1 3 3 1 0 1 0 3 - 2 0 4 - 5 - 6 - So it starts on the thinnest string with G-F-E and then on the next string with D, back to the thin string with G-F-E and so on ... Also during the "My head falls back ..." verse, the lead guitar plays E-F-G-A-B-C-D-E-F on the thinnest string. Let me know if I'm clear? Also, has any one else played something I posted, how did it go?
