Pedro The Lion - Bad Diary Days

bad diary days chords
by pedro the lion

standard tuning

kind of an acoustic take on this track , obviously sounds plenty different from the
actual song .

i’ve tabbed it out to mimic the same melody as in the the actual song , the strumming
will have to be a bit different and seeing as i don’t know the names of all the variations
of chords i’ll just give the main chord and give you the formation as how i play it with
the song , you can obviously mess around with what i’ve given – hope this is concise as
possible and sorry for not knowing the names of chords haha if it’s confusing feel free
to message me and i can show you how i play it .

capo on the second fret

intro :
Am G F

C C F G

so for the above :
C chords i play a normal C then at the end of it i mute the “e” string and play the
third fret on the “b” string
F chord i play the “e” string open , then the first fret “e” string
you can play this with the verse as well , but below , the F * i play like so : open “e”
string , then mute the “e” string and play the 3rd fret “b” , then the 1st fret “b” while
still muting the “e”

C C
we barely ever fight
F G
she knows that i love her
C C
at first we made it every night
F *
but i don’t want to bug her about it
Dm Am
she just has a funny way
G
of loving me

C C F G

C C
pair of ticket stubs in the desk
F G
a movie i’ve never seen
C C
i probably shouldn’t ask
F *
it sounds so accusing
Dm Am
she must have forgot to mention
G
girl’s night out

C C/B Am G

so for the above :
C chord – i mute the “e” string and play 1st fret “b” , then 3rd fret “b” , then play A
regular C chord
C/B chord – i mute the “e” string and play third fret “b” , then 1st fret “b” then open
“b” string
Am – i play normal
G – i mute the “e” string and play the “b” string open

C C F G

C C
the breakfast cereal talked
F G
more than we did all day long
C C
i asked her for a walk
F G
but she had to be on her way
Dm Am
so i told her that i knew
G
she’d been stepping out

C C/B Am G
she swore that she could explain
C C/B Am G
she swore that it would not happen again
C C/B Am G
she swore that she could explain
C C/B Am
we both knew her words were in vain

so it keeps on going as : C C/B Am G
how i play it with the chords is as so :
C chord – 3rd fret “e” to 1st fret “e” to normal C chord
C/B chord – mute “e” string and play 3rd fret “b” , then normal C/B chord still muting the
“e” string , then playing the “b” string open still muting the “e” string
Am chord is normal
G chord is normal .
