What A Day That Was

  Down Up Down Up Down Up
And do the same pattern when you use it on the G chord.

And again the same for the other chords in the pattern.
Now, we go with the song:
Start.

  Down Up Down Up Down Up
Continue as vocals kick in.
"Well, I'm dressed up so nice.
And I'm doin my best.
And I'm...startin over.
I'm startin over in anotha place."
Next verse begins...

  Down Up Down Up Down Up
"Lemme tell you a story,
A big chief with a golden crown.
He's got rings on his fingers.
And he walks up...up to the throne.
He's makin shapes with his hands.
And don't ya dare step back.
And don't ya dare sit down!
And don't ya dare stick out.
Oh. Oh, but on the..."

Continue...
"Well there are 50,000 beggars...
Roamin in the streets, they have
Lost all their possesions,
They have nothin left to eat."
Same pattern, G chord.

  Down Up Down Up Down Up
"Down come a bolt of lightning.
Start an electrical storm.
It starts a chain reaction.
Go pull a fire alarm. (I say, uh)
I'm dreamin of a city.
It was my own invention.
I put the wheels in motion.
A time for BIG decision, oh oh but on the..."
Strumming pattern two.
"First day, we had"

"goes..."

"There's a million ways..."

Solo.
(not completely accurate)
A lot of this is rapid picking,
But if you want it'd probably
be better to just improvise along
these frets on the guitar. It sounds somewhat close.

(I'd be surprised if this is useful to anyone.
This is hard as it's played by the keyboard.)
Back to strumming pattern one.

  Down Up Down Up Down Up
"Well I'm goin right through...
And the light came down.
And they're roundin' em up...
From all over town. (ha. ha.)"
Same pattern, G chord.

  Down Up Down Up Down Up
"They're movin forward and backward.
Movin backwards and front.
And they're enjoyin themselves...
Movin in ev'ry direction.
And if you feel like you're in a whirlpool...
You feel like goin home.
You feel like talkin to someone
Who knows the difference between right and wrong! Oh but on the..."
