Brets Day chords by Flight Of The Conchords

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

🎸 Verse 1:
      D
I was wondering through the streets of the city
                                Em    A
Rambling through the avenues of time
          D                                                                  Em    A
When from nowhere my eyes fell onto a girl, and by chance her eyes fell onto mine
     D
So I sat and I acted all nonchalant
                            Em      A
She smoked her lavender cigarette
D                                                                   Em
Reading the future that lay in my hands, as my shadow played a bass clarinet

🎸 Verse 2:
                  D
We waltzed down a molded boulevard
                            Em     A
Just two silhouettes in thе mist
D
Days went by and years wеnt by
                        Em       A
Moments went by when we kissed
               D
She said "your beard is woven of heartache"
                                 Em      A
And we'll drink for the lonely tonight
        D
And the moon is a horny old drunkard
                                            Em
Uh Bret, could you please move over to your right?


🎸 Verse 2:
         D                                                                   Em    A
We drank dandelion wine and we reminisced about the moment we first met that day

I'm trying to watch TV
        D
Then we reminisced about how we first reminisced
                    Em    A
Oh ya? Sounds a bit gay
    D
She handed me a broken memory
                           Em     A
A keepsake to forever more save
       D
That a brief taste of love is as sweet as any
                  G        D
And with that she made her way


🎸 Interlude:
No chords.


🎸 Verse 2:
    D
She said her name was a secret
                              Em     A
Then she said her name was Cherise
D
Is her middle name Cherise?

So it's a secret Cherise? Maybe?
    Em
Hmm maybe
           A
What'd she look like?
    D
She looked like a Parisian river

What, dirty?
                             Em
She looked like a chocolate eclair
       A
That's weird
    D
Her eyes were reflections of eyes

Oh no
                               Em
And the rainbows danced in her hair
   A
Oh ya
      D
She reminded me of a winter's morning

Oh frigid?
                          Em
Her perfume was eau de toilette
          A
What does that mean?
        D
She was comparable to Cleopatra

Quite old?
                              Em
She was like Shakespeare's Juilet
      D
What 13?
      D                                                                      Em       A
The bohemians of Soho did pirouettes as we waltzed through the streets of Manhattan
    D                    G
The rivers of ribbon and sails of sock
                               Em
Bret, did any of this actually happen?
    D
The girl I described, she's as real as the wind
     G                 Em    A
It's true, I saw her today
    D
The other details are inventions
        G                 D
Because I prefer her that way
