F
Drinking in the morning sun
B flat
Blinking in the morning sun
C
Shaking off the heavy one
B flat
Heavy like a loaded gun


F
What made me behave that way?
B flat
Using words I never say
C
I can only think it must be love
B Flat
Oh, anyway, it¡¯s looking like a beautiful day


F
Someone tell me how I feel
B Flat
It¡¯s silly wrong but vivid right
C
Oh, kiss me like the final meal
B Flat
Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight


F
Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
B Flat
And only now I see the light
C
Yeah, lying with me half-awake
B Flat F
Oh, anyway, it¡¯s looking like a beautiful day

F
When my face is chamois-creased
B Flat
If you think I¡¯ll wink, I did
C
Laugh politely at repeats
B Flat
Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin
F
Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
B Flat
And only now I see you like
C
Yeah, lying with me half-awake Stumbling over what to say
B Flat F
Well, anyway, it¡¯s looking like a beautiful day


F
So throw those curtains wide!
B Flat
One day like this a year¡¯d see me right!

There is a simple riff that goes through most of the song:

E]----1---1-----------------1-------1---------------
B]----------------------------------------------------
G]--------------3----3-----------------------3------
D]---------------------------------------------------
A]---------------------------------------------------
E]----------------------------------------------------


This is most of it anyway. The i-tunes acoustic version anyway. Maybe we should start a section for tabs n'the like....?

Thank you so much for the tab/chords! Awesome work!!

Ask and ye shall recieve...

...within reason.

There's quite a lot of the lads' stuff here on Ultimate Guitar:

Clicky for Elbow tabs & chords

its just F all the way through... listen to the bass

It's various chords with F always in the bass, inversions.

Is the correct answer!

One Day Like this is a funny one to pick up though, cos there's so much going on with the strings and stuff, especially in the coda. I can hear an EbMAJ7 as Guy sings the word "wide" but I may be wrong!

I think the chord on 'wide' is an Eb major, of course with an F in the bass. So the ending is

F ______________________Eb/F
So throw those curtains wide!
____Bb/F____________________F
One day like this a year'd see me right!

Hey, that's fun to play! Guy sings a G on 'wide' at points, the major 3rd of Eb, and the major 2nd of F. Sounds awesome, that. It's very rock 'n' roll

yeh the piano does the other bass bits at the end... sorry people!!

i use a capo on 5 and then what youd normally plas as c, f and g. . the intro can be figured out easily enough

E]--0--------------------------------0-0-----|--0-------------------------------|
B]--1---1--0------------------------1-1-----|--1---1---0----------------------|
G]--0-----------0---0h2-------0---0-0-----|--0-------------0---0h2---------|
D]--2-----------------------2-------2-2h3--|--2-------------------------2---2--!
A]--3--------------------------------3-3-----|--3-------------------------------|
E]--0--------------------------------0-0-----|--0--------------------------------|

Then play it c=F, f=B flat, g = C(though thats not what they are)
