Grossi (hooch_smc@hotmail.com) Capo IV Intro: || Em | C || x 4 (w/ Hand Drums) x 4 (w/ Beat) Em C D G G/F# Em V1: My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all. C D G G/F# Em The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all. C D G G/F# And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my Em C Em C wall. It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad Repeat Intro x 4 Em C D G V2: I drank too much last night, got bills to pay, my head just G/F# Em C D feels in pain. I missed the bus and there'll be hell today, G G/F# Em C D I'm late for work again. And even if I'm there, they'll all G G/F# Em C imply that I might not last the day. And then you call Em C me and it's not so bad, it's not so bad and G C G C G Chorus: I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life. Oh C Bm Am just to be with you is having the best day of my life G C Bridge: Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and G C G through. Then you hand me a towel and all I see is you. C Bm And even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue. Am Because you're near me and Repeat Chorus x 2 Repeat Intro x 2 End on G This is my first attempt at a tab, I?m pretty sure its better than any of the others out there. Any corrections or comments are welcome. Thanks Later. This is my second attempt at this tab, the first one got a little messed up in the transfer, so here ya go. Hope this satisfies all queries. Just a point,it was suggested to me that this song may be a semitone higher, which would require transposing the chords up one semitone, ie. G#m would become Am. I haven't looked into this possibility too much, but experiment and see which you like best. For those of you new to transposing, just move the capo up to V instead of IV. Later, J.

Chords (relative to capo): E A D G B E Em (0 2 2 0 0 3) G* (3 2 0 0 0 3) Cmaj7 (x 3 2 0 0 3) C (x 3 2 0 1 3) D (x x 0 2 3 2) Bm (x 2 4 4 3 2) G (3 2 0 0 3 3) Am (x 0 2 2 1 0) Gsus2/F#(2 0 0 0 3 3) Intro: Em Cmaj7 (x8) Verse 1: Em Cmaj7 D My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why G Gsus2/F# Got out of bed at all Em Cmaj7 D The morning rain clouds up my window G Gsus2/F# And I can't see at all Em Cmaj7 D And even if I could it'd all be grey G Gsus2/F# But your picture on my wall Em Cmaj7 Em It reminds me that it's not so bad Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7 It's not so bad Verse 2: (same chords at Verse 1) see above for lyrics Chorus: G* C And I want to thank you G* C For giving me the best day of my life G* C And oh just to be with you Bm Am Is having the best day of my life Middle 8: (same chords as Chorus) Verse 3: (same chords as Chorus) see above for lyrics Chorus (x 2) Suggested strumming patterns :- Intro & Verses 1 & 2: Em Cmaj7 d- -u -u d- d- -u -u du Chorus & Verse 3: d- -u d- -u -u -u d- -- d = downstrum; u = upstrum; - = don't strum More modifications The Em and Cmaj7 above sound okay, but don't quite match the recording. Though more uncomfortable to play, a closer match would be (relative to capo): Em (0 2 x 4 5 3) Cmaj7(x 3 x 4 5 3)
