Marillion – Drilling Holes
        Em
Intro:  
           C              C#m
A man came to drill holes in the afternoon
D
And by the evening
Ebm                   Em
Most of the afternoon had gone
               C     C#m
I seem to have slept through the morning
D
But in the afternoon
Ebm                 Em
A morning is yet to come
            C                   C#m
A girl came to help out in the kitchen
D
And by the evening
Ebm                  Em
We found we were all washed up
          C
We ate on the lawn
         C#m
With the insects
          D
We burned incense
Ebm                     Em
Most of the band turned up
        Bb                Am
It was just one of those days
Gm            F#m
When the mind strays
F
One of those days
Bb            Am
When everyone plays
Gm
One of those days
F#m           F
When everyone stays
Bb                     Gm     Em
And all of the dreaming goes on
        C            C#m
A woman arrived in a panic
       D
With a picnic
Ebm                 Em
Better to give than receive
              C                 C#m
A man came to pick holes in the logic
D
He wore plastic
Ebm                        Em
And shoes you would hardly believe
            C
The evening arrived
         C#m          D
Slightly early like a pygmy
Ebm                       Em
Chewing the wrong kind of leaves
         Bb              Am
It was just one of those days
Gm            F#m
When the mind strays
F
One of those days
Bb            Am
When everyone plays
Gm
One of those days
F#m           F
When everyone stays
Bb             Gm            Em
And all of the dreaming goes on
All in Em
We ordered extra tea
Listened to XTC
Under a shady tree
Went back to bed at three
It was cool
As can be
(two sugars for me..)
Ahahahaah-part: follow the same chord progression as in the verses
It was just one of those days part: the same as before, ending on Em
Thanks for looking up this tab. I think it´s pretty solid. If you want to compliment me 
or if you want to give me some advice, please do.
