Day To Day For 6 Days A Week by L.A. Salami
Day To Day For 6 Days A Week
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 4th fret
Walk up to the G from the Em and the G to sound
more like his playing. You can strum to rest and
it will still sound good.
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
Took the bus, took the train
G
Went to work, ignored the pain
Em
What a rainy day, unfriendly faces
G
Got dragged around all types of places.
G
Closed my eyes, smelt your hair
G
Looked around, but you weren't there
Em
Had some lunch, jacket potatos
G
Chicken wings and fried tomatoes.
G G
After that, lit a fag, said a prayer and took a drag;
Em
These days I toast never do combust so much,
Em
I burn for the both of us though.
G
Second day, second job -
G
passing thought for the world to stop -
Em
Shoes are too tight feet are aching -
G
Called in sick but I was faking…
G
When I do go I am late, always make the same mistake;
Em
That mistake being not caring - 6 days a week -
G
Can’t find my bearings…
G
But to be fair, I might have cared -
Em G
Might have cared if you were there
Em G
Might have cared if you were there
Em G
Might have cared if you were there
G (Improvise off the G chord)
[Verse 2]
G
Stressed as hell, fatigued as fuck,
G
Putrid passion, rotten luck;
Em
Worked to death, chomping at the bit -
G
Crazed as Christ and broke as shit.
G
Watched the news, someone died -
G
Saw the mother, teary eyed -
Em
Son shot dead on Walworth Road -
G
I thank god no one I know…
G
Went to work for the NHS -
G
Mental health, people depressed.
Em
Met Joanne - Scared of living,
G
Afraid of dying, terrified of being.
G
Then met Paul, a schizophrenic,
G
Shaking limbs, paranoid fanatic -
Em
Unwashed 10 days in a row -
G
So afraid almost paralytic.
G
I tell them that I do the same -
G
In certain moods, on certain days…
Em
But despite the sane ways I can think
G
I could not do much to convince them…
G
Back to base, had a meeting -
G
2 kids die a week because their parent beat them.
Em
I wish I could say I was surprised
G
The news just choose which ones to highlight…
Em G
…Choose which ones to highlight…
G (Improvise off the G chord)
[Verse 3]
G
Took the DLR, took the tube,
G
Read a book, nothing else to do…
Em
Read Gill Hicks, she survived the bombings -
G
Wrote a book… made a killing…
G
I read somewhere that some lost their legs,
G
Umpteen injured, 52 dead.
Em G
In some places far away, that shit happens every day.
G
Now scared of buses, scared of trains,
G
But got to get to work someway…
Em G
So I play with my life, you could say.
C G
…But don’t we all? Don’t we all?…
C G
…Don’t we all? Don’t we all?
G G G
[Verse 4]
G
I got a gig, got myself booked,
G
Just down the road where Nick got jooked.
Em
I get to sing my joys and sorrows -
G
Not made it yet… maybe tomorrow…
G
Closed my eyes, saw your face,
G
Looked around, you were no place…
C G
… I feel so left out when you’re not around…
C G
… I feel so left out when you’re not around…
G
But you are Time, and I am Life,
G
And time’s a tyrant unto strife -
Em
And strife’s the type of life I seem to lead,
G
And time won’t heal this wound easily.
G
Take your light, your shadowed passions,
G
I hear your talk, I see your actions;
Em
What I don’t see are your eyes,
G
Those flaming symbols of the night.
G
Was that your skin that I saw
G
On the road my ruin wore?
Em
Were you wearing that paisley I adore?
G
Were you hatred? Were you lust?
G
You understand this, ‘cause you must -
Em
That men have the consistencies
G
Of love and war through history…
G
I must see you, I must know,
G
Did you falter, did you go?
Em G
Did you go?
Em G
Did you go?
Em G
Did you go?
Em G
Did you go?
Em G
Did you go?
Em G
Did you go?
Em G
Did you go?
Em G
Did you go?
Em G
Did you go?
Em G
Did you go?
Em G
Did you go?
Em G
Did you go?
G (Improvise and Harmonica for the outro)
