Chords for songs: We all need the days (when rain don't fall)

Been flattered to get asked by Elena for the chords of some of my songs (Elena http://www.myspace.com/lazydragonfly),

Here are the chords for, We all need the days (when rain don't fall)

I play this song with my capo on the second fret - but I'll describe it as if I was playing it in open D. The chord shapes are

D G D G A7

I play a downward bass run while holding the first D chord (the notes are D Db B A). While playing the second D chord I hold the F# note on the 6th string with my thumb. Coming off the G to the A7 I play a B note before moving to the A note of A7.

chorus
Bm G D G D A7

There is a similar downward bass run during the chorus; should be easy to figure out - starts with B goes to A and then when hitting the G chord just the same as verse.

Middle eight
Em G Em G Em G D A7

Bass run on chorus is just playing the F# note before going to the G.
