Artist: Loudon Wainwright Iii
Song: Pretty Good Day


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----------------------|

       
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|--------------------|


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 & I didn't get shot
It's a pretty good day so far

I didn't hear sirens or explosions
No murders coming in from those heavy guns
No UN tanks, I didn’t see one
It's a pretty good day so far

No snipers in windows, taking a peak
No people panic, running scared through the streets
I didn't see any bodies without arms, legs, or feet
It's a pretty good day so far

There was plasma & bandages & electricity
Food, wood & water & the air was smoke-free
No camera crews from my TV
Pretty good day so far

It was all such a strange sight to behold
Nobody was frightened, wounded, hungry, or cold
The children seemed normal, they didn't look old
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
It's a pretty good day so far

I slept through the night, I got through to the dawn
I flipped the switch & the light came on
I wrote down my dream & I made it this song
It's a pretty good day so far
