Zombies - Smokey Day

artist : the zombies
song : smokey day
tabbed by : dj

tuning : standard

another great track from the zombies , a demo version is available on the ’zombie heaven’
cd box set ) an orchestrated version was also recorded by colin blunstone on his debut
solo album ’one year’ .

this transcription is intended to be played fingerstyle ,
as there are partial chords in the break .

the chords in the break are my best guess in attempting to name them ,
the shapes are the simplest i could achieve to give some sense
of the original piece . any corrections by the more musically literate are appreciated .
