Pretty Good Day Chords & Tabs
Tabbed by Paul Brannigan
Tuning: Standard EADGBe
Thisw is a beautiful and meaningful song with a fairly simple guitar part. He strums
the D and Bm chords with alternating bass notes, it's simple to figure out but I'll
tab it anyway.
Do it like this:
D Bm
e|---2--2-2---2--2-2----2--2-2----2--2-2----2--2-2----2--2-2----2--2-2-|
B|---3--3-3---3--3-3----3--3-3----3--3-3----3--3-3----3--3-3----3--3-3-|
G|---2--2-2---2--2-2----2--2-2----2--2-2----4--4-4----4--4-4----4--4-4-|
