DAY JOB As Recorded by Gin Blossoms Here is Day Job: my personal favorite from Congratulations I'm Sorry. Scott Johnson plays guitars 2 and 3 and plays the first lead. Jesse Valenzuela plays guitars 1 and 4 and plays the second lead. The only thing I'm wrong about is the first lead fill in the second verse. Brought to you by Cameron Hood galaxy@azstarnet.com ______________________________________________________________________ It starts with an organ swell and panned feedback in A. Then, as the volume swells, it starts with: lead riff 1 e:-------12----|-------12-----|-------12---|-------12---| b:---12--------|---12---------|---12-------|---12-------| g:14-----------|13------------|11----------|15----------| d:-------------|--------------|------------|------------| a:-------------|--------------|------------|------------| e:-------------|--------------|------------|------------| guitar 2 plays this: A----------|-E------------|-B---------|-F#---------| Rhythm Part 1 Then guitar 2 switches to: d:-4-4--4-4--4-4-|-4--2-2-----| a:-4-4--4-4--4-4-|-4--2-2-----|repeat one more time e:-2-2--0-2--0-2-|-2--0-0-----| guitar 1 swithches to:Rhythm Part 2 e:------0------2--|-----0------------| b:---2-------2----|---2-------2----0-|repeat one more time g:3--------3------|3-------3---------| d:----------------|------------------| well we've been here once before, and we've stuck it out for more, when we come around, we'll settle down the cracks below the floor. has it been eleven years, since i stood here with my peers? well we started out to conquer doubt and frisbee guitar 1 plays: d:4---------------------4-4-4-|-4--------------------4-4-4-| a:4---------------------4-4-4-|-4--------------------4-4-4-| e:2---------------------2-2-0-|-2--------------------2-2-0-| g:2--2-2-2-2--4--4-4-4-4-|-------------------| d:2--2-2-2-2--4--4-4-4-4-|-4-4--4-4-4-4-4--2-| a:0--0-0-0-0--2--2-2-2-2-|-4-4--4-4-4-4-4--2-| e:-----------------------|-2-2--0-2-0-2-2--0-|repeat this once more guitar 2 plays: e:-----------0---|-----------0---| b:-------------0-|-------------0-| g:3--------------|3--------------|then, same as guitar 2 at the A to B change d:4--------------|4--------------| a:4--------------|4--------------| e:2--------------|2--------------| so basically the verse is F#5----F#5-E5-|--F#5----F#5-E5-| A-----B----|F#5--E5-F#5-E5-F#5--E5---- Chorus: i should've been a whole lot farther, i'm never going back to college, for just one good day job then the chorus is the same for both guitars. it's just: A-------|E--------|B--------|F#-------- then guitar 1 plays: e:--------12-|--------12-| b:----12-----|----12-----| g:14---------|13---------| while guitar 2 plays: A-----------|-B--------- you're not missing much for sure, only everything that's yours. and at times it fails and we're full sail in the gutter.is this home cause i forget? if it is, then thanks a lot, cause i can't pretend to know one end from the other. the first time, the chorus ends by going back to rhythm part 1, but does not repeat. in the second verse, there are two fills played at the end of each half verse. the first fill i don't really know but i play this as a substitute: feedback--then w/ wah wah e:5--2----------------| b:5--2----------------| g:-----4-2-4-2-4b(6)--| the second fill is: e:-------------------------------| b:-------------------------------| g:---2----2--4--2-4b(6){A.H.}----| d:4----4-------------------------| then after the second chorus, both guitars walkdown: guitar 1 plays: e:-----------------------------------------------------| b:-----------------------------------------------------| g:-----------------------------------------------------| d:4--3--2----------------------------------------------| a:----------4--3--2--0---------------------------------| e:-----------------------4--3--2--0-{whammy dip){-1----| guitar 2 plays:

only)---| a:-------------|-------------|------------------| e:-------------|-------------|------------------| guitar 1 plays Rhythm Part 2 guitar 2 technically plays Rhythm Part 1(since through the
