To the best of my knowledge this is the way to play "Ugly Day." But as
anybody who tries to tab this out will find, there are a LOT of changes
and stuff, so I'm probably wrong on a lot of things. It sounds good
though played alone, or with the CD though.

See notes at the bottom for any asterisks (*)

Intro:
The song starts with the rhythm guitar playing a D while the lead plays
this:

e-----------------------------
B-----------------------------
G-----------------------------
D-0-4-0------0-2-0----------
A-------2----------4-2-0-----
E---------3-------------------

Verse 1:
D         G
I don't know just how this happened
D          A
Didn't think it ever could
D         G
I'm the author of sappy love songs
Bm      A*
Trading in my batchelorhood
Em        A
Something snapped deep inside me
D         G
Something that somebody said
B          A          G
I felt the brush of angels wings and your voice echoed in my head

Chorus:
D  A  G   A
Ugly Day, sun is shining
D   A      Bm   G
Every cloud's got a silver lining
D  A  G     A
Ugly Day, skies are blue
G     Bm   A
Now every day is ugly without you

Verse 2:
You are the one pure thing
That I've always prayed for
Scales are falling from my eyes
Must have been so blind before
I would lie down on the street
Keep the dust off of your feet
I would kneel each time I kiss you
Anything; Christie I miss

-Chorus-

Bridge:("Whoa-oh" part)
G-D

Now it gets tricky. After bridge the key gets moved up 1 step from D to
E.
So.....

Verse 3:
E      A
Today was an ugly one
E         B
Just like all the others
E        A
All the flowers and the birds
C#      B**
Make me feel smothered
F#        B
I would lie down on the street
E         A
Keep the dust off of your feet
C#         B
I would kneel each time I kiss you
A
Anything; Christie I miss you


2nd Chorus:
E  B  A   B
Ugly Day, sun is shining
E   B      C#m   A
Every cloud's got a silver lining
E  B  A     B
Ugly Day, skies are blue
A     C#m   B
Now every day is ugly without you

-2nd Chorus-

2nd Bridge:
A-E

Outro:
Rhythm guitar plays an E while lead plays this:

e-----------------------------
B-----------------------------
G-----------------------------
D---6--------4----------------
A-7---4----7---7-6-4----------
E-------5------------7--------

* This may sound funny sometimes when compared to the CD, so if you want
you can throw in a quick F#-F-E fill to kinda make it sound "better",
cause that is what the horns are playing over the A chord that the guitar
is playing

** Basically the same thing as the first *, but because of the key change
the fill would be: G#-G-F#
