  • Elliott Smith inspired you to do this cover? You look like you should be more familiar with The Kinks' version judging by your age. Hadn't you heard the song before?

  • Sure, I knew the Kinks back then... but I didn't have money to buy a record.

    And also, I for one, don´t think that everything was better in the old days.... new talent is always coming up, so I keep listening to the pulse of time.

  • hi again bob,

    the intro is clear but i would also like to know the chords you play the verse and chorus, would be great if you could post them to me or make another tutorial video.

    Thanks again

  • Okay, I´ve just completed another tutorial via the onboard camera/microphone on my iMac. The audio/video quality is not so good, but I guess you should be able to pick up the cords. I will post the tutorial shortly - above. Good luck!

  • hi bob,

    best cover of this song on youtube.

    i would also like to cover this song as i am going to go bucking in the city soon. can you please tell me the chords you use for your version?

    thnaks again and look forward to new songs:)

  • Mhmmm? Lets see... I used a capo on the 3rd fret.. In this position I played open chords... the intro is played on the strings g,b,e... can you try to figure that out by ear? Wait I´ll try to post a little video for you, okay. See above!

  • no matter who does this song it always sounds good, because Ray Davies can't write a bad song. God save the kinks. Ray to this day is still the supreme songwriter of all time!
