Jackson Browne - These Days
transcribed by Brian Allen (ballen @ sterling.edu) (Remove the spaces to e-mail)

Hi, this is my first tab. I hope it helps someone out. Pretty easy song to play, but 
good. This is based off the version on
his For Everyman album. It might not be the right key, but the chords should be right. 
second and third verses are basically
the same as the first one, and the interlude is played between the verses. The rhythm 
be easy to figure out if you've heard
a version of the song before (and there are many recordings of it). Enjoy.

Unusual Chords:

 Cadd2/B:       Am/G:        F/G (if you know the real name of this chord e-mail it to 
please)
----0----     ----0----   ----1----|
----1----     ----1----   ----1----|
----0----     ----0----   ----0----|
----0----     ----2----   ----3----|
----2----     ----0----   ----3----|
----x----     ----3----   ----1----|

To do for you

Interlude

Verse 2
And I had a lover
It's so hard to risk another these days
These days--
Now if I seem to be afraid
To live the life I have made in song
Well it's just that I've been losing so long

Interlude

Verse 3
I'll keep on moving
Things are bound to be improving these days
These days--
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend
Don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them

Alternate Lyrics (from Nico's Version)

Verse 1 is the same as in Browne's

Verse 2
I've stopped my rambling,
I don't do too much gambling
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway.

Verse 3 is the second verse in Browne's

Verse 4
I've stopped my dreaming,
I won't do too much scheming
These days, these days.
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.
Please don't confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them.

About artist:

Clyde Jackson Browne (born October 9, 1948) is an American rock singer-songwriter and musician, whose introspective lyrics made him the poster boy of the Southern California confessional singer-songwriter movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. In 2004, Browne was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by fellow American musical artist and good friend, Bruce Springsteen. Browne also received, in 2004, an honorary Doctorate of Music from Occidental College in Los Angeles, for "a remarkable musical career that has successfully combined an intensely personal artistry with a broader vision of social change and justice".[1]
