A Routine Day by Klaatu
A Routine Day
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: F
[Verse #1:]
F C Bbdim
It started off a routine day
Dm E7sus4 E
I got through the morning in the usual way
Bbsus2 Bbmb5
I caught the bus on time
Am Am7/G D
Good morning, Mr. Driver, drive
Bb Bbsus2 Bb(b5)
As I sat inside my overcoat I clutched my cane
Am/C Bbdim Dm Am7 F Bb/C
And pressed my nose against the foggy window pane Ho hum
C/E E7 F Bb Bbsus2 Bbm11
The life I lead would even make a dead man yawn
[Verse #2:]
Dm Dm/C
Midday comes
C Bbdim
I break for lunch
Dm Dm7/C E7sus4 E
With my sandwich and a beer I go on a hunch
Bb Bbsus2 Bbmb5
To the park where I hope to find
Am Am/G D
A little bit of peace of mind
Bb Bbsus2 Bb(b5)
As I sat there on a bench amidst the rodent race
Am Bbdim Dm Am7 F Bb/C
I felt a strange sensation that without a trace appeared
C/E C7sus2 E7 F
But then as quickly disappeared again
[Break]

E|--------------------------|
[Bridge:]
Bb G6/B G7/B
So tell me what's the bloody point of playing the game
F Am Eb D
With so much to lose yet so little to gain
Bb C7 F
You sell your life away
[Break]
E|--------------------------|
B|------1-3-1---------------|
G|------------3-2-----------|

E|--------------------------|
Bb G6/B G7/B
Can't you see you're just a cog working like a dog
F Am Eb D
You trade your future for a dead-end job
Bb G7 C
That's full of routine days
C
Routine days
[Verse #3:]
F6 F C Bbdim
I race the clock to the end of my day
Dm Dm7/C E7sus4 E
The paycheck in my pocket makes me feel okay
Bb Bsus2 Bbmb5
But was it worth the grind
Am Am7/G D9 D
Just to keep from falling behind
Bb Bbsus2 Bb(b5)
I stand here in the queue behind a foul cigar
Am Bbdim Dm Am F Bb/C
My face discreetly buried in a book on Mars Hum drum
C/E C7sus2 E7 F Bb Bbsus2 Bbm11 F
And I'm waiting on the pier 'til Charon comes
