Van Morrison — These Are The Days Tab
This is a great song off his legendary Avalon Sunset album. Actually, i think it's one
of Van the Man's best (excluding Tupelo Honey). Have a go, the intro riff sounds fantastic
when it's right. The chords are really easy, it's only the intro that's a bit
hard. Listen to the cd to get the timing right.
