Basement Days
INTRO: G,D,G,D,G,D,A 2X
VERSE:1
D A G D
Timmy played bass and his brother had a Mexican Strat
D A G D
I was on drums and couldn't find the one but I only sang a little flat
G A
Fake wood paneling, linoleum floor
F#m B
Pillow stuffed under the upstairs door
Em C A
Trying to learn a few chords and start a band
(Chorus)
G A
Take me back to those basement days
D C# Bm
"Stairway To Heaven" and "Purple Haze"
G A
"Pinball Wizard" and "Born To Run"
D G
"I Can't Get No Satisfaction"
G A
We were lost in the music down in that room
D C# Bm
It might as well have been the dark side of the moon
G A
You can burn out or fade away
Em A G
But you can't go back to those basement days
VERSE:2
D A G D
We learned enough songs and we thought that it sounded alright
D A G D
So we rented out a local church basement on a Saturday night
G A
All our friends were there we were living the dream
F#m B
'Til the fire marshal arrived on sceneA
And pulled the plug 'cause we set off the alarm with our dry ice machine
CHORUS
G A
Take me back to those basement days
D C# Bm
"Stairway To Heaven" and "Purple Haze"
G A
"Whipping Post" and "Aqualung"
D G
"I Can't Get No Satisfaction"
G A
We were lost in the music down in that room
D C# Bm
It might as well have been the dark side of the moon
G A
You can burn out or fade away
Em A G
But you can't go back to those basement days
BRIDGE
G D
Give me one more shot at 16 years old
G D
Back when I still believed that rock n' roll
A
Could save my soul
VERSE:3
D A G D
Now Timmy's in computers and his brother is a lawyer I hear
D A G D
Who'd have guessed I'd be the one still crazy after all these years
G A
But it only comes in flashes every now and again
F#m B
I get a little taste of how it was back then
Em C A
And it keeps me going every time I feel like packing it in
(Chorus)
G A
Take me back to those basement days
D C# Bm
"Stairway To Heaven" and "Purple Haze"
G A
"Sugar Magnolia" "Here Comes the Sun"
D G
I still know every word to "Comfortably Numb"
G A
We were lost in the music down in that room
D C# Bm
It might as well have been the dark side of the moon
G A
You can burn out or fade away
Em A G
But you can't go back to those basement days
