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.

[Verse]
G                                 C G
These are the days of endless summer
D                                G
These are the days the time is now
G                                 C G
There is no past, there?s only future
D                                G
There?s only here, there?s only now
 
G                                         C G
Oh your smiling face, your gracious presence
D                                    G
The fires of spring are kindling bright
G                                       C G
Oh the radiant heart and the song of glory
D                         G
Crying freedom in the night
 
[Chorus]
C                                      G
These are the days by the sparkling river
D                                    G
His timely grace and our treasured find
C                              G
This is the love of the one magician
D                         G
Turned the water into the wine
 
[Verse]
G                                         C G
These are the days of the endless dancing and the
D                             G
Long walks on the summer nights
G                                  C G
These are the days of the true romancing
D                           G
When I?m holding you oh so tight
 
[Chorus]
C                                      G
These are the days by the sparkling river
D                                    G
His timely grace and our treasured find
C                              G
This is the love of the one magician
D                         G
Turned the water into the wine
 
G                               C G
These are the days now we must savour
D                       G
And we must enjoy as we can
G                                   C G
These are the days that will last forever
D                                G
You?ve got to hold them in your heart
