Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
A few quick notes about the tuning:
1) The song is played in Eb or possibly in drop Db (more on this later). For simplicity's sake,
everything is written in terms of the chord shape rather than the actual chord. When you play that
A chord, it's technically Ab.
2) The album version is about half a semitone lower than it should be. Perhaps the guitars were out of
tune or the recording was slowed down at some point.

Some may find the variations on G#m, F#m, and Am easier to play by:
1) Muting the low Eb string
2) Playing in drop Db, making it easier to play them as barre chords with the ring finger and index finger
As long as those Bb and Eb strings ring out, you'll be fine!
[Verse]
A E
I awoke in the early afternoon
A E
Sat up in my bed
A G#m
Rubbed the sleep away from my eyes
F#m E
And shook my head
A E
Went on out to grab a cup of coffee
A E
Left my dreams behind
A G#m
The California sun was all I had for breakfast
F#m E
And it burned my mind
A E
And it burned my mind
[Chorus]
A
And I don't know
G#m
How much longer
F#m
I can feel the way I feel
E
And never cry
A
Yeah I don't know
G#m
How much longer
Am E
I can kiss another day goodbye
Am A E
Kiss another day goodbye
A E A G#m F#m E
...Yeah
[Verse]
A E
Evening came in the T.V.'s glow
A E
I played on my guitar
A G#m
One last song couldn't get my sins forgiven
F#m E
But it showed me who we are
A E
And now baby he we are sitting by the water
A E
And I'm singing you this song
A G#m
All about my day and how I did remember
F#m E
That our love is strong
F#m E
That our love is still strong
[Chorus]
A
And I don't know
G#m
How much longer
F#m
I can live the way I live
E
And never die
A
Yeah I don't know
G#m
How much longer
Am E
I can kiss another day goodbye
Am E
Kiss another day goodbye
Am
Kiss another day goodbye
Am
(Goodbye)
