"Division Day"(Smith)
Released as a single 28/2/97
with "No Name #6" as the B-side
Tune Guitar Down a full Step (DGCFAD)
Intro: D
D G
There was grown man dying from fright
Bm E
so surprised at the things he'd say
D G
With a giant fantasy life
Bm E
running 'round on feet of clay
D G D G
Naked except for a perpetual debt
Bm A G
that couldn't be stripped away
D G D G
An unrightable wrong that moved him along
D A D A
closer to division day
Spent a long time living with that
Never could give it a name
And when you don't know what you're looking at
it makes it much harder to take
Mostly they'd meet when he was
asleep and have some sick exchange
that stuck him as wrong and moved him along
closer to division day
Solo (chorus pattern)
I can't make an exception for a bad
connection that only goes one way
sell out for a song where I don't belong
with you on division day
The moon stood up on the ridge
looking down where the water shines
and a man looking over the bridge
like he done so many times
Thinking about how to stay out
Out of troubles way and
Flying to fall away from you all
It's over division day
Beautiful division day
Solo #2
Thinking about how to stay out
Out of troubles way
Flying to fall away from you all
Bm
It's over,division day
G A D
Beautiful division day
