Pretty Good Day Loudon Wainwright Iii
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-|
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------------------| G A 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----------------------|

Intro:
D-Bm-G-A
Verses:
[D]I slept through the night, I got through to the dawn
[Bm]I flipped a switch and the light went on
[G]I got out of bed and I put some clothes on
[A]It's a pretty good day so far
I turned the tap, there was cold there was hot
I put on my coat to go to the shop
I stepped outside, and I didnt get shot
Its a pretty good day so far
I didnt hear any sirens or explosions
No murders coming in form those heavy guns
No UN tanks, I didnt see one
Its a pretty good day so far
No snipers in windows, taking a peak
No people panic, running scared through the streets
I didnt see any bodies without arms, legs, or feet
Its a pretty good day
There was plasma bandages and electricity
Food, wood, and water; and the air was smoke free
No camera crews from my TV
It was all such a strange sight to be home
Nobody was frightened, wounded, hungry, or cold
And the children seemed normal, they didnt look old
Its a pretty good day so far
I walked through a park, you would not believe it
There in the park, there were a few trees left
And on some branches, there were a few leaves
I slept through the night, got through to the dawn
I flipped the switch and the light went on
I wrote down my dream, I wrote this song
Its a pretty good day so far
