Song: The Halcyon Days
Band: The Tea Party
Tabbed by: Daniel Cheron-The Bazaar Teahead

This is the first song I've ever tabbed out, since I've so far read 3 tabs on it
and they were all wrong. 
It is in the tuning DADGAD with a capo on the 4th fret. That's the official
tuning, I don't know what he plays live, but I think he stretches his strings so
far it ends up being the same tuning. I wouldn't recommend it though.

Intro/Verse

D---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A--0-0-0h1-0-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G---------------0----0h2-------------0---0h2p0----0-------------------------------------------------
D------------------3-------3--1-1h3---3----------3---1-h-3-1p0------000h1p0------0------------
A---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3----------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------0----------------------0----------

D------------------------------------
A------------------------------------
G------------------------------------       This little thing 2X
D------000h1p0------0------------

A------------------------------------------------------
G------------------------------------------------------
D-000h1p0---0-1h3-1-00h1p0-----0----------
A--------------3------------------------3--------------
D-----------------------------------------------0------

That's most of the intro and verse, but the part where he goes "Now chthonic
life has set its sights on making me a slave to his ways" goes like this:

D---------------------------------------------------------------------
A--3-1p0----------------------------------------------------------
G------------0--------0---0h1p0---0-------------------------------   Right here continue on with 
D---------------3--3----3---------3---1h3 1-0-0-h1p0----0------   the little thing it says to do 
A-----------------------------------------------------------3--------   2X and the thing after it, 
D------------------------------------------------------------------0-   followed
by the intro riff                                                   
                                                                                                 
again.  

This is the pre-chorus (it doesn't change even with the distortion)

D--0--0--0--0--0--0---xxx- 0-
A--0--3--2--0--0--0---xxx- 0-
G--2--2--2--2--0--0---xxx- 2-      2X
D--0--0--0--0--0--3-- xxx- 0-    These are the pre-chorus chords. You figure out
the    
A--0--0--0--0--0--0---xxx- 0-   strumming pattern.
D--0--0--0--0--0--0---000- 0-

Other Verses:

D---------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------   It does this about a million times until the part where
D--00 1p000 00-3p1p0 00----0----    he goes "Sleep Comes Down" which is illustrated 
A--------------------------------3------   underneath.
D-------------------------------------0-        

D------------
A------------
G------------
D---5-1--0
A---5-1--0
D---5-1-0

"Sleep Comes Down"

Where here it continues on doing that little riff above a million times.
Then it does the pre chorus written above, where he says "And I'll be with you
soon" and then the chorus:

D--0-0-0-0---------------0----
A--0-3-2-0---------------0----
G--2-2-2-2------0-3-2--2-----    4X   
D--0-0-0-0-----4--------0-----    Once again, you can figure out the timing. I'm
too lazy.
A--0-0-0-0---------------0----    
D--0-0-0-0---------------0----    
"Now I see a light…"

After this it does another verse, pre-chorus and chorus, and then a solo, and
then a chorus, and afterwards the segment of "Sleep Comes Down" 3X. Then it does
one intro riff as an outro.
I'm not gonna bother figuring out the solo. Be creative. I always am J.
Send me any feedback you want. This is my first, and I'm quite proud. This is a
really fun song to play once you get the hang of it.
