Chords for Jackson Browne “These Days” (Live Performance)

[C] _ _ [F] _ [C] _ This is a song that, _
_ [F] _ because in my mind tonight I'm in New York.
I'm with you in New York and we're all [C] in New York with John Henry and his friends.
[G] This is a [C] song that I wrote when I was about 16, _ 17, _ and it was first recorded by an artist
in New York named Nico.
And I played this song _ _ at a bar called The Dom, accompanying her.
Later that spring it was recorded on her Chelsea Girl album.
_ And as _ a matter of fact, maybe I'll play some of the same chords I played for her then,
you know, because I play it differently now, a little bit differently now.
_ This is These Days.
_ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ Actually, that's the way I play it.

_ _ [C] _ [G] _ [Am] _ [C] _ [F] _ _
_ [C] and I stop my rambling.
[F] _ _
I [Em] don't do too [Am] much [C] gambling [F] these days.
_ [Em] These _ days. _
_ [F] These days I seem to think about how all the changes came about [C] my ways.
_ _ [G] _ _

_ _ [Em] _ _ These days. _ _
_ [F] These days I'll sit on cornerstones and count the time in quarter [C] tones to ten.
_ _ [G] _ _ _
[F] Don't [G] confront [Am] me with my [F] failure. _
_ _ _ _ _ I had not [C] forgotten then.
