Standard (EADGBE)

Intro/Interlude

Cadd2/ X 2 (Strum each of the chords once except and /G)

Verse 1

 Well I've been out walking

 I dont do that much talking these days

  (Note: Em can also be played instead of those chords, like in Nico's version)

These days--

These days I seem to think a lot

About the things that I forgot

To do for you

 And all the times I had the chance to

Interlude

Verse 2

And I had a lover

It's so hard to risk another these days

These days--

Now if I seem to be afraid

To live the life I have made in song

Well it's just that I've been losing so long

Interlude

Verse 3

I'll keep on moving

Things are bound to be improving these days

These days--

These days I sit on corner stones

And count the time in quarter tones to ten, my friend

Don't confront me with my failures

I had not forgotten them

Alternate Lyrics (from Nico's Version)

Verse 1 is the same as in Browne's

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3 is the second verse in Browne's

Verse 4

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.
