Elliott Smith - Division Day lyrics

Tuning - cgcfad or d(drop c)

Listen to the cd for correct timings

The solo is from the chordsnothing out of key

So just improvise in there and I'll get to the solo

Later.

Intro right before verse 1

It moved him along closer to division day

It just continues...

I spent a long time living with that

Never could give it a name

And when you don't know what you're looking at

Makes it much harder to tame

Mostly they'd meet when he was asleep and

Have some sick exchange

That struck him as wrong

And moved him along closer to division day

(solo)

I can't make an exception for a bad connection

That only goes one way

Sell out for a song where I don't belong

With you on division day

The moon stood up on the ridge

Looking down where the water shines

And a man looking over the bridge

Like he'd done so many times

Thinking about how to stay out

Out of trouble's way

Flying to fall away from you all

It's over division day

Beautiful division day

Jimy - ons connix - icq:14267345 aol im: destroy333
