As far as I can tell this is the first tab for All My Days available on the 'net.
suggestions and improvements welcome - this took a while to tab and I'm sure it's not perfect!
 
Drop D tuning (low E becomes D)
On the fantastic unplugged Youtube vid: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=c4Xtil6p2UU
please note Alexi’s guitar is NOT at concert pitch (confuses some other chords you may
the net) – he is tuned to D sharp not E hence the Capo on 1, this is presumably because
needed his tuning lower for other songs in his set.
 
Annotation:
h denotes a hammered note (written above the tab)
t denotes reaching your thumb round the back of the guitar to play the bottom string
below the tab)

Lyrics
Well I have been searching all of my days
All of my days
Many a road, you know
I've been walking on
All of my days
And I've been trying to find
What's been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night
 
Well I have been quietly standing in the shade
All of my days
Watch the sky breaking on the promise that we made
All of this rain
And I've been trying to find
What's been in my mind
As the days keep turning into night
 
Well many a night I found myself with no friends standing near
All of my days
I cried aloud
I shook my hands
What am I doing here
All of these days
For I look around me
And my eyes confound me
And it's just too bright
As the days keep turning into night
 
Now I see clearly
It's you I'm looking for
All of my days
Soon I'll smile
I know I'll feel this loneliness no more
All of my days
For I look around me
And it seems He found me
And it's coming into sight
As the days keep turning into night
As the days keep turning into night
And even breathing feels all right
Yes, even breathing feels all right
Now even breathing feels all right
It's even breathing
Feels all right
