PSA (BAD DAY)
Chords by: Mark Bettis (JJY515@mgvax.ulst.ac.uk)
Notes:
Verse: The F C Bb hammer on the chords you can do the Peter Buck
jangles using these chord shapes but he goes back to F from Bb before
beginning the next F C Bb progression.
Chorus: Use strummed chords, not Buck-esque jangles, and unlike the verse
section, the Bb's do go jangle back to F before beginning the next F C Bb
phrase.

This is pretty straightforward.
The part after this last part is a touch in the background, but it's just two
climbs and descents along the G string that mirrors and or is just off the
vocals by a beat or so.
The other part that I have to offer is the little bit I think separates
the chorus from the third verse, or thereabouts.
It seems to be just a variation of the F chord.

Perhaps exchange the A for a C (?)
