Day After Day – Joni Mitchell
Nghệ sĩ: Joni Mitchell
Hợp Âm Chuẩn
This is tabbed from the original demo of the song (Mitchell's first, recorded August 24th 1965),
released officially October 2nd 2020 in advance of the Archives Vol 1: The Early Years album.
The recording is linked here: https://youtu.be/1YOus2_u9sg To my ear, this seems to be in standard tuning.
Another version popped up later, in a new key, with added stanzas,& in er more characteristic an open tuning.
This version could be simplified by transposing down 3 steps (Am) & adding a capo on the 3rd fret,
but I think it sounds truer played as tabbed here. The Cm7, Cm6, C9, Csus4 frills could also be dropped
for simplification, but chord shapes if included are:
Cm7: x35347
Cm6: x35x46 (or x35346)
Csus4: x35563
C9: x35533
