All My Days - by Alexi Murdoch
Tabbed by Tom Nichols, 31st January 2009
tom@tomnichols.com
As far as I can tell this is the first tab for All My Days available on the internet.
suggestions welcome - this took a while to tab and I'm sure it's not perfect!
Drop D tuning (low E becomes D)
On the fantastic unplugged Youtube vid: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=c4Xtil6p2UU
please note Alexi's guitar is NOT at concert pitch (confuses some other chords you may
on the net) - he is tuned to D sharp not E hence the Capo on 1, this is presumably
he needed his tuning lower for other songs in his set.
Annotation:
h denotes a hammered note (written above the tab)
t denotes reaching your thumb round the back of the guitar to play the bottom string
below the tab)

Lyrics
Well I have been searching all of my days
All of my days
Many a road, you know
I?ve been walking on
All of my days
And I?ve been trying to find
What?s been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night
Well I have been quietly standing in the shade
All of my days
Watch the sky breaking on the promise that we made
All of this rain
And I?ve been trying to find
What?s been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night
Well many a night I found myself with no friends standing near
All of my days
I cried aloud
I shook my hands
What am I doing here
All of these days
For I look around me
And my eyes confound me
And it?s just too bright
As the days keep turning into night
Now I see clearly
It?s you I?m looking for
All of my days
Soon I?ll smile
I know I?ll feel this loneliness no more
All of my days
For I look around me
And it seems He found me
And it?s coming into sight
As the days keep turning into night
As the days keep turning into night
And even breathing feels all right
Yes, even breathing feels all right
Now even breathing feels all right
It?s even breathing
Feels all right

Alexi Murdoch (born 27 December 1973) is a London-born, Scottish-bred, singer-songwriter. He went to the U.S. to study philosophy at Duke University.
His self-published EP, Four Songs, was released in 2002, becoming the all time No. 1 selling record in CD Baby history. [1] Murdoch's first album, Time Without Consequence, was released on June 6, 2006.
One of Murdoch's most popular songs is "Orange Sky". In an interview, Murdoch said when he took the music to a record company that the recording executive popped the disc into his computer rather than a stereo and then proceeded to stare at the counter on the screen waiting to see how long it took to get to the refrain. The executive's reaction supposedly convinced Murdoch to take the indie route of releasing his music.[citation needed]
"Orange Sky" has been used in a number of television and movie productions, including The OC, House, Prison Break, Ugly Betty, Ladder 49, "The Russell Girl", and a trailer for the film Paradise Now. The same song was also featured in the movie Garden State, although it did not appear on the official soundtrack. More recently, the song was featured on a Season 1 episode of Dirty Sexy Money. Another song of the album, "All My Days", was featured in a Season 4 episode of The OC and in Season 4 of Grey's Anatomy. The song "Home" was featured on a Season 2 episode of Prison Break.
His song "Through the Dark" can be heard during the end credits of Gone Baby Gone.
