These Days - Nico
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Tabbed by Steve Cotter ([email protected])

as heard in The Royal Tenenbaums
  or that Disney commercial where they don't play the vocals
  or Nico's 67 album Chelsea Girls

I think the guitar work was originally done by Lou Reed
actually, so that's probably why it has that Velvet touch.

Capo 5th Fret

general fingerings used in the song

That's it!  Remember that you can add notes ala the ending to the 
respective sections of the verse to spice it up a bit.

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to.

I've stopped my rambling,
I don't do too much gambling
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway.

I had a lover,
I don't think I'll risk another
These days, these days.
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long.
La la la la la, la la.

I've stopped my dreaming,
I won't do too much scheming
These days, these days.
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.
Please don't confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them.
