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.

Whiter Shade Of Pale was released back in 1967 and has been covered more than 1000 times up through the years. It peaked at #1 in the UK and #5 in the US. The song had four verses but many times only two are heard.
I've put in three verses in my version here. The song was in the can in two takes and can be found on their debut album.
Whiter Shade Of Pale is of course an old 60's number from Procol Harum. Dave Matthews played an acoustic version on Howard Stern's radio show, but was never released as a single.
In fact it isn't on any Dave Matthews album I could find.
Windy was actually written about a man according to Ruthann Freidman and in 1967 the song was a #1 hit for The Association. Later on she changed the story and said the song was written about herself.
it can be found on their "Inside Out" album as well.
