Tono:
D Am C F, D Am C F
D Am Pulling the ice axe from my leg, I
C staggered on
F D Spindrift stinging my remaining
Am C F eye
D Am I finally managed to reach the station
C F Only to find that the bus
D replacement service had broken down
Am C F
D Am After wondering to myself whether or not it should
C F Actually be called a train replacement service
D Am I walked out onto the concourse
C F And noticed the giant screen
D seemed to have been tampered with
Am C F Probably by a junior employee.
D Am Disgruntled commuters were being
C F regaled with some dismal TVM
D Am Involving a tug-of-love custody
C battle;
F D Am C Stockard Channing held sway.
F D Am C F
D Am Down in the High Street somebody
C careered out of Boots
F Without due care or attention
D Am I suggest that they learn some
C pedestrian etiquette
F D I.e. sidle out of the store
Am C F D Am C F gingerly - embrace the margin.
D Am C Fat kids with sausage rolls,
F D Am C F poor sods conducting polls.
D There's a man with a mullet going
Am C F D mad with a mallet in Millets.
Am C F

D I try to put everything into
Am perspective,
C Set it against the scale of human
F suffering
D Am And I thought of the Mugabe government
C And the children of the Calcutta
F railways
D Am This works for a while but then I
C F encounter Primark FM
D Am C F Overhead a rainbow appears - in
E black and white. A Caug E A Caug E Shite Day, I guess this must be National Shite Day A Caug E This surely must be National Shite Day A Caug E (Inst D Am C F x8) Don't tell me it's National Shite Day.
D Am C F D Float, float on. Float,
Am C F D Am C F float on
D Am C F D Am C F Barry Herpes.
D Am I got a letter from Stringy Bob
C F "Still on suicide watch, screws not happy.
D Am Spotted a Marsh Fritillary during
C Association
F D Was roundly ignored; what news
Am C F you?"
D Am I felt sorry for him
C He'd only been locked up for public
F nuisance offences
D Am One of which saw him beachcombing
C the Dee Estuary
F D Found a dead wading bird, took it
Am home, parcelled it up
C And sent it off to the rubber-faced
F irritant Phil Cool
D Am With a note inside which read:
C F D Am C F "Is this your Sanderling?"
D Am Another time saw him answering an
C F advert in the music press
D Am C "Keyboard player required - Doors,
F Floyd, etc.
D Am C Must be committed; no time
F D Am C F wasters" - you can guess the rest.
D Am I'd always imagined he would
C F simply wander off some day into the hills
D Am To be found months later, his
C F carcass stripped by homeless dogs
D Am His exposed skull a perch for the
C F D Am C F quartering crow
D Am I folded away the letter and put
C F it in my inside pocket
D Am All of a sudden I felt brushed by
C F D the wings of something dark
Am C F
D Am May the Lord have mercy on Stringy
C F E Bob. A Caug E A Caug E Shite Day, I do believe it's National Shite Day A Caug E It all points to National Shite Day A Caug E Someone's declared it National Shite Day. A Caug E A Caug E Shite Day, my birthday on National Shite Day A Caug E No bog roll, it's National Shite Day A Caug E (D Am C F to fade) Cue drum roll, it's National Shite Day.
