: I am wondering if anyone knows how to play "Seven Days" written by

:Bob Dylan, and recorded by Ronnie Wood way back when for Gimme Some Neck.

:I think Dylan also released it on the Bootleg Series.

:

: It's really a great song, I'd love some pointers on how to play it...

Hi Steve,

I love that song too.  I'll try to roughly TAB/TALK you through it.


The opening riff is off the opening E minor chord and goes roughly like

this


E-----2-3-0-2--0---------------

B----------------3--0----------

G------------------------------            repeat for intro

D--2----------------------2--2-

A--2----------------------2--2-

E--0----------------------0--0-


So... The intro is a held out E minor.

Seven more days, she'll be coming.  I'll be waiting at the station

and the other change is

                           AminAmin Piano Chord 


There's kissing in the valley, thieving in the alley

                          EminEmin Piano Chord 


Fighting every inch of the way.

                         AminAmin Piano Chord 


Trying to be tender with somebody I remember

                                                      EminEmin Piano Chord 


In a night that's allways brighter than the day.      Seven Days.



Hope this helps.  All off the top of my head and I haven't played this

one in a couple of years.

BTW, how's your open tuning playing going?  Check out my sig for a

good riff.

Here are some chords, the way Wood does it is similiar but not the

same. (anyone have any ideas?)

sevan long days, all I gotta do is survive


She been gone, ever since I been a child,

ever since I seen her smile

I've never forgotten her eyes


She had a face that outshined the sun and the sky


I've been good, i've been good while i've  been waitin'

forgive for hesitating,

but i've been hangin on

sevan more days and all that will be gone


there's kissin' in the alley, theiving in the alley


fightin' every inch of the way


trying to get a lead on, providing the feat on

the nights are always sadder than the days


sevan days , sevan days the wind is knowin'

the whistle will be blowin'

and I know she'll be coming for

my beautifull comrade from the north.


repeat last first.
