60s Rock Bands
On The Acoustic

A Day Without Love was a hit single for The Love Affair, released in 1968. It appeared on their debut album, "The Everlasting Love Affair," which was also released that year.

The song performed well on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 6 and further solidifying the band's popularity following their number one hit "Everlasting Love." Written by Philip Goodhand-Tait, "A Day Without Love" showcased Steve Ellis's powerful vocals and the band's signature blend of pop and soul.

I play this one with a down down up down up down up rhythm pattern. There is some d-cending orchestration line in here which can be duplicated slightly on the acoustic. The chords you'll need here are G, D/Gb. F, E7, Am, Am/G, D, C/G, C and an Em.
