PSA (BAD DAY)

(Outtake from Reflection Studio Sessions)
(Available on the bootlegs "Stab It And Steer It" and "These Days")



Notes:

Verse: The F C Bb hammer on the chords you can do the Peter buck
jangles using these chord shapes but he goes back to F from Bb before
Beginning the next F C Bb progression.

Chorus:  Use strummed chords, not Buck-esque jangles, and unlike the verse
 section, the Bb's do go jangle back to F before beginning the next F C Bb
 phrase

{Intro}:   Eb (6th fret A-shape barre) four times


  F (hammer-on)     C                     Bb
A public service announcement followed me home the other day,
  F            C     Bb
I bade it nevermind, go away.
    F                          C
The sh*t's so thick, you could stir it with a stick,
    Bb                             F               C             Bb
the paper wouldn't lie, wisdom got lost to mankind, we gloat and jeer with it

count your blessings, ignore the lowest fear, well you can't send us, listen,


F         C               Bb
Radio no, play the game, three words, first one short,
F          C            Bb
magazine, book, cinema, N - O - down,
F                C         Bb
many fears are gone, step down, step down,
        F          C    Bb
watch a heel crush,  ah this means war

I saw the light, it can't be right

You don't know how you move me, deconstruct me, and consume me, I'm all
used up, I'm out of luck, I am starstruck, By something in your eyes.
That is keeping my hope alive.   - Matthew Sweet
