Barenaked Ladies – Bad Day (Guitar)

Very easy song from the children's album. The chords are played as follows: D: xx0232 C: x32010 G: 320033 Em7: 022030 A7: x02020 Note: In the recording you can hear that sometimes the guitar will throw in an A7sus4 in the choruses to lead back to the Em7. This is done by fretting the 3rd fret on the B string as opposed to the 2nd. It also does this occasionally in the move from A7 to D. [Intro] D C G x2 [Verse 1]

D            C   G
I'm having a bad day

D                       C     G
There's nothing you can do or say

D                       C   G
To help me through this bad day

  Em7                         A7
I think I'll just stay in my room

[Verse 2] They didn't need to say That they didn't want to play I could have guessed it anyway And that's why I'm here in my room [Chorus]

Em7                A7
Seems like I'm the only one

Em7                  A7
Who's not outside and having fun

Em7                 A7
I wish this day had never begun

  C               G          A7
I think I'll just stay in my room

[Instrumental] D C G x2 [Verse 3] Sometimes I wanna run and hide Today I wanna stay inside Tell my bike to take itself for a ride I'm staying in today [Verse 4] See the toys lying on the floor I don't want them anymore I think I'll sell them back to the store Or give them all away [Chorus] It feels like I'm the only one Who's not outside and having fun I wish this day had never begun I think I'll just stay in my room [Verse 5] I don't need hugs and I don't want food I wanna stay here in this lonely mood I don't care if people think I'm rude I wish they would all go away [Verse 6] Dad comes in and tells me with a kiss Everyone has days like this Brought my dinner said that I was missed I think I'll be okay [Chorus]

Em7                A7
I know I'm not the only one

Em7                A7
To stay inside and watch the fun

Em7               A7
Thanks a lot that helped a ton

C                A7
Tomorrow's gonna be a better day
