One of those days

Duran Duran

Tuning: Standard This is the tenth track from the band's Astronaut album. Lots of keyboards in this song, and there's a pretty simple guitar riff or two you can get out of it. This riff is played during the verses. Don't forget that a the last line of the two verses also. e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------4-----4--4-----4--4----------------------------| D|--4---4--4-----5---5--5-----4-----4--4-----4--4----------------------------| A|--4---4--4-----5---5--5-----2-----2--2-----2--2----------------------------| E|--2---2--2-----3---3--3----------------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------7-----7--7-----7--7----------------------------| D|--4---4--4-----5---5--5-----7-----7--7-----7--7----------------------------| A|--4---4--4-----5---5--5-----5-----5--5-----5--5----------------------------| E|--2---2--2-----3---3--3----------------------------------------------------| The chords below are played during the Chorus twice.

You'll see it in the lyrics underneath here. Suddenly it all looks so familiar Gone and wrecked it, like I always did Don't you know that life is out to kill ya But you still go getting on with it Seen better times than right now But I'm not running away No nothing's gonna bring me down It's just been one of those days I'm not the only one They can drag me to the gates of hell now There's nothing left but I'm still hangin' in Not for me, ain't no final showdown I'm too shattered to do anything Seen better times than right now But I'm not running away Coz nothing's gonna bring me down It's just been one of those days I'm not the only one feeling this way and i'm not sorry I'm not the only one feeling this way And i'm not sorry Not runnin' away I'm not the only One feeling this way And I'm not sorry i hear you say no i'm not sorry
