                      Long, Long Day – Paul Simon
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written by: Paul Simon
From: “One-Trick Pony” (1980)

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

This looks complicated but it isn't really. Don't let the sometimes 
complicated chord names frighten you off, they are playable.

Simon probably plays this in E on a guitar tuned one step down,
so it sounds in Eb. Here's a capoed version in D if you do not
want to tune down. The whole thing is a little easier (and much
more guitarey) using the other tuning, though. If you use the
tuning One Step Down, transpose this chord sheet +2 and there
you are.

Capo: 1st fret
Play: D
Key: Eb
Time signature: 3/4
