Song Title: Some Days Are Better Than Others
Artist: U2
----------------------------------------------


This is the tab for "Some Days Are Better Than Others"
from the U2 album Zooropa.


I play this with my bass tuned down a 1/2 step.

------------------------------------------------------
Intro:

|--------------------|
|--11----9-9-9-11----|
|-----11-------------|
|-----------------9--|

After this, there are basically four parts to the song.
It's pretty repetitive, and would be a waste of space to 
type them all out, so I split them into sections.

Part A:

|----------------------|
|--11----9-9-9-11------|
|-----11---------------|
|-----------------9-9--|

Part B:

|---------------|
|---------------|
|--11/4--414---|
|---------------|

Part C:

|-------------------|
|-------------------|
|--9-9-9-9----------|
|----------7-7-7-7--|

Part D:

|-------------------|
|-------------------|
|-------------------|
|--4-4-4-4-7-7-7-7--|



The progression is like this:

Intro
Ax5  B  Ax3  B  A  C  A  C  Ax3  B  Ax3
B  A  C  A  C  Ax5  D  Ax3  D  Ax3  D  A
C  A  C  A  C  A  C  A  D  A  D  A  D  A
D  A  C  A
Fade...


It looks like kind of a mess, but it's really easy if you
listen to the song and get a feel for it.

	obvious. Some days suck. Some days don't. It's tied into a relationship story where some days the relationship and communication are good and others it just won't work.

	I think this song has a deeper meaning than just "Some days suck. Some days don't," though that message is pretty clear in the title. I think it's not so much about the days themselves as it is about the human perception of the days passing. As humans, WE change with the times. Sometimes our heads are foggy and we can't see anything straight, sometimes we just don't want to do anything, sometimes we wake up feeling like everything makes sense. It's all about our individual minds and our perception. I think the message Bono's trying to convey with the lyrics is that in life, we have very little control over how we feel on a given day and we just have to live with that. Our entire lives are going to be made up of good days and bad days, but there's not a whole lot we can do to change it. Call it the will of the Gods. This song is reassuring that, even when we have bad days, there will always be a good one lurking ahead.

	Reading the last 3 lines I think this must be about how most days just pass by unnoticed and routinely, whereas some days you're able to see the bigger picture. Those are the more special days where you realise life is good, finally understand something or just seem to be ahead on things. I think that perhaps this song is nothing more than a conclusion about how some days are better than others. I really can't find a deeper meaning behind it, unlikely as it is!

	I think eirenightshade gets it right. Some days are BETTER than others BUT we also have control over each day and each of us indivdually can, each day, choose to make it better,
