I don't know about tabs, but if nobody else can help I could probably work out the chords for you...

F
Drinking in the morning sun
B flat
Blinking in the morning sun
C
Shaking off the heavy one
B flat
Heavy like a loaded gun

F
What made me behave that way?
B flat
Using words I never say
C
I can only think it must be love
B Flat
Oh, anyway, it¡¯s looking like a beautiful day

F
Someone tell me how I feel
B Flat
It¡¯s silly wrong but vivid right
C
Oh, kiss me like the final meal
B Flat
Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight

F
Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
B Flat
And only now I see the light
C
Yeah, lying with me half-awake
B Flat F
Oh, anyway, it¡¯s looking like a beautiful day

F
When my face is chamois-creased
B Flat
If you think I¡¯ll wink, I did
C
Laugh politely at repeats
B Flat
Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin
F
Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
B Flat
And only now I see you like
C
Yeah, lying with me half-awake Stumbling over what to say
B Flat F
Well, anyway, it¡¯s looking like a beautiful day

F
So throw those curtains wide!
B Flat
One day like this a year¡¯d see me right!

There is a simple riff that goes through most of the song:

E]----1---1-----------------1-------1---------------
B]----------------------------------------------------
G]--------------3----3-----------------------3------
D]---------------------------------------------------
A]---------------------------------------------------
E]----------------------------------------------------

This is most of it anyway. The i-tunes acoustic version anyway. Maybe we should start a section for tabs n'the like....?

its just F all the way through... listen to the bass

Subject: Re: One Day Like This - Chords or Tabs needed! Tue 12 Aug 2008, 20:49

It's various chords with F always in the bass, inversions.

Is the correct answer!

One Day Like this is a funny one to pick up though, cos there's so much going on with the strings and stuff, especially in the coda. I can hear an EbMAJ7 as Guy sings the word "wide" but I may be wrong!

Subject: Re: One Day Like This - Chords or Tabs needed! Wed 13 Aug 2008, 21:23

I think the chord on 'wide' is an Eb major, of course with an F in the bass. So the ending is

F ______________________Eb/F
So throw those curtains wide!
____Bb/F____________________F
One day like this a year'd see me right!

Hey, that's fun to play! Smile

Guy sings a G on 'wide' at points, the major 3rd of Eb, and the major 2nd of F. Sounds awesome, that. Very Happy

It's very rock 'n' roll

i use a capo on 5 and then what youd normally plas as c, f and g. . the intro can be figured out easily enough

E]--0--------------------------------0-0-----|--0-------------------------------|
B]--1---1--0------------------------1-1-----|--1---1---0----------------------|
G]--0-----------0---0h2-------0---0-0-----|--0-------------0---0h2---------|
D]--2-----------------------2-------2-2h3--|--2-------------------------2---2--!
A]--3--------------------------------3-3-----|--3-------------------------------|
E]--0--------------------------------0-0-----|--0--------------------------------|

Then play it c=F, f=B flat, g = C(though thats not what they are)
