PSA (BAD DAY)

Chords by: Mark Bettis (JJY515@mgvax.ulst.ac.uk)

Notes:

Verse: The F C Bb hammer on the chords you can do the Peter buck 
jangles using these chord shapes but he goes back to F from Bb before
Beginning the next F C Bb progression. 

Chorus:  Use strummed chords, not Buck-esque jangles, and unlike the verse
 section, the Bb's do go jangle back to F before beginning the next F C Bb
 phrase

this is pretty straight forward

the part after this last part is a touch in the background, but its just two 
climbs and descents along the G string that mirrors and or is just off the 
vocals by a beat or so 

the other part that I have to offer is the little bit I think separates
the chorus from the third verse, or there abouts

it seems to be just a veriation of the F chord

perhaps exchange the A for a C (?)
