SONG: HALF A DAY AHEAD ARTIST: HOOTIE & THE BLOWFISH TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] NOTE: I prefer playing this song using Barre chords as there are some slides used in the song and also it is easier to use those then open chords in some of the parts. However, the choice is yours. INTRO: To me there are two guitars playing the INTRO. GUITAR 1 is playing chords while GUITAR 2 is playing notes. However, I did offer an ALTERNATIVE so you can play it on one guitar. E E E A A - GUITAR 1 = Single strum

VERSE: sl.
E                    E / F   F#m
I feel the daylight slipping

            F#       B           C#m
The summer sunshine winding down

 I feel the warmth escaping another time, another €…town
sl.

A radio silence tuned me in

Nothing chan-ges between sunset and sunrise

 Side-by-side, we watch our future come alive

The reflected skyline, everlasting, old and wise
