In Only Seven Days

Queen
Tab
4.5(4)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Queen: In Only Seven Days

Deacon/ album: Jazz (1978)

Note: this tab is not a transcription.

This is just an arrangement by me. At several places it is close to the

original, but its 50% is bluff, but I hope you'll like it.

Tuesday I saw here down on the beach

I stood and watched a while

And she looked and smiled at me

A D B

Wednesday I didn't see her

Em A D

I hoped that she'd be back tomorrow

She stood there all alone

I went and asked her name

I never thought that this could happen to me

It would take a hundred or more

For memories to fade

I wish Friday could last forever

I held her close to me

I couldn't bear to leave her there

Saturday just twenty four hours

Oh no I'm going back home on Sunday
