[Verse]
D Am C Pulling the ice axe from my leg, I staggered on F D Am C F Spindrift stinging my remaining eye D Am I finally managed to reach the station C F D Am C F Only to find that the bus replacement service had broken down 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 D And noticed the giant screen seemed to have been tampered with Am C F Probably by a junior employee D Am C F Disgruntled commuters were being regaled with some dismal TVM D Am C Involving a tug-of-love custody battle; F D Am C F D Am C F Stockard Channing held sway D Am C Down in the High Street somebody careered out of Boots F D Without due care or attention Am C F I suggest that they learn some pedestrian etiquette D Am C F D Am C F I.e. sidle out of the store gingerly - embrace the margin D Am C F D Am C F Fat kids with sausage rolls, poor sods conducting polls D Am C F D Am C F There's a man with a mullet going mad with a mallet in Millets D Am I tried to put everything into perspective C F D Set it against the scale of human suffering Am C And I thought of the Mugabe government F D Am C And the children of the Calcutta railways F D Am C F This works for a while but then I encounter Primark FM D Am C F E Overhead a rainbow appears - in black and white
[Chorus]
A Eb E A Eb E Shite Day, I guess this must be National Shite Day A Eb E This surely must be National Shite Day A Eb Don't tell me it's National Shite Day

[Verse]
D Am I got a letter from Stringy Bob C F D Am "Still on suicide watch, screws not happy C F D Spotted a Marsh Fritillary during Association Am C F Was roundly ignored; what news you?" D Am C F I felt sorry for him D He'd only been locked up for public nuisance offences Am C F D One of which saw him beachcombing the Dee Estuary Am C F D Found a dead wading bird, took it home, parcelled it up Am C F And sent it off to the rubber-faced irritant Phil Cool D Am C F D Am C F With a note inside which read: "Is this your Sanderling?" D Am C F Another time saw him answering an advert in the music press D Am C F "Keyboard player required - Doors, Floyd, etc D Am C F D Am C F Must be committed; no time wasters" - you can guess the rest D Am C F I'd always imagined he would simply wander off some day into the hills D Am C F To be found months later, his carcass stripped by homeless dogs D Am C F D Am C F His exposed skull a perch for the quartering crow D Am C F I folded away the letter and put it in my inside pocket D Am C F D Am C F All of a sudden I felt brushed by the wings of something dark D Am C F E May the Lord have mercy on Stringy Bob
[Chorus]
A Eb E A Eb E Shite Day, I do believe it's National Shite Day A Eb E It all points to National Shite Day A Eb E7b13 Someone's declared it National Shite Day A Eb E A Eb E Shite Day, my birthday and National Shite Day A Eb E No bog roll, it's National Shite Day A Eb Cue drum roll, it's National Shite Day
