Living Life - Daniel Johnston

Tabbed by - Ch� Cartwright

Transcribed from the Kathy Mccarty version for the guitar.

I learnt this some years ago after hearing it on 'Before Sunrise' while I was learning to play guitar.

Guitar - Standard tuning EADGBE

Intro: Note hit the A short and sharp, dont let it ring. Listen to the recording to catch what im saying.

D          Asus A     G                  A

E|------2---2---0---------2--0-----2--0------0-------------|
B|--3---3---3---3---2--2------------------3--2-------------|
G|--2---2---2---2---2--2---------------------2-------------| X2 Then into the verses....
D|--0---0---0---0---2--2---------------------2---------0---|
A|-------------------------------------------0--0--0h2-----|
E|------------------------------3--------------------------|

D              A

Hold me like a mother would

E            G        A            E

Like i've always known somebody should yeah

A         E

Although tomorrow

A        D|----------0---
                           A|--0--0h2------
It dont look that good     E|--------------

D            A

Well it just goes to show

E                   G    A      E

Though people say were an    unlikely couple

A       E

I'm seein' double

Of you

Chourus: This bit alternates rapidly a lot between the G and D chords, listen to the recording to get the exact feel

(Strum lightly at first then build out towards the end before dropping onto the A and E to take you back into the verse)

G    D    G    D    G      D    G    D     G        D         G     D

Ohhh                This is life           And everythings alright

G             A             G        D (on the record the guitarists alternates round between the G,A, maybe even the E and D chords
                                        here, but the changes are so rapid I cant pick them out without slowing down the recording)
Livin' livin' livin' livin' livin'   Life

Verse:

D   A

Oh hope for the hopeless

E                         G           A   E
I'm learning to cope with the emotionless mediocracy

A    E              A

Oh ho,   day to day living   D|----------0---
                             A|--0--0h2------
                             E|--------------

D          A                          E

How can I help but be restless when

G               A             E

Everything seems so tasteless and

A                     E

All of the colours seem to have

Faded away

Chorus: As above

Outro: Just finish up there or you can repeat the intro again and dont forget to let the last note ring and say......'Life!'

Enjoy, this was my first tab and even something as simple as this takes time. I now appreciate all the crazy guys out there
who interpret entire bridges and legnthy hendrix solos! Hats off to you!
