Pretty Good Day Tab

by Loudon Wainwright Iii


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:

                                        
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-|

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

       
e|---0--0-0----0--0-0-|
B|---2--2-2----2--2-2-|
G|---2--2-2----2--2-2-|  Then back to G - repeats through the whole song
D|-5----2-2--2----2-2-|
A|--------------------|
E|--------------------|

Verses:


I slept through the night, I got through to the dawn

I flipped a switch and the light went on

I got out of bed and I put some clothes on

It’s a pretty good day so far
