Travis - Good Day To Die

From "Good Feeling", Written by Fran Healy & co.





No capo (*gasp*).





Intro: Various noise, then D7 into...



First verse:



G D Em B

where is your mother, where is your father,


G D Em B

two little children, locked in a cupboard.


G D Em B

Into the wide world, high on the high wire,


G D Em D7 C, D7

What would you give to fly away, away, away, away, awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay?






Same chord progression for the second verse:


Girl with the flower, boy with the hammer,
Lost in a forest, on another planet.
Find me the exit, find me the way home,
Find all the love they took away, away, away, away, away.



Chorus (coming off of D7):



Em D

Cos your head, is a brick wall,


C D

And your heart, is a football


Em D

And your eyes, broken windows,


C D C

when you cry, it's a good day to die.





Solo (well-tabbed on other GDTD tabs), the chords are similar to the verse,
with a bit of a change:


By measure:


G, D, Em, B

G, D, Em, Em

G, D, Em, B

G, D, Em, Em




Then, D7 back into the chorus chords.
Once through the chorus normally, but instead of playing the last C transcribed above
go right back into the Em to begin the next time through the chorus. Then...


Em D

Cos your head, is a brick wall,


C D

And your heart, is a football


Em D

And your eyes (?), it's a good day...




Am, Em, Cadd9

Today...


Am, Em, Cadd9

Today...


Am, Em, Cadd9

Today.......today......today.....



The outro seems to be messing back and forth with a C and a Cadd9.
Enjoy! Hope this works better than the others.
