Song: The Day
Artist: They Might Be Giants
       B C#D#
Intro:     
( Flansburgh only. Softly )
    E                   A
The day Marvin Gaye and Phil Ochs got married
    E                     B
The trees all waved their giant arms
    E                   A
And happiness bled from every street corner
    E             B           A  Abm F#m E
And bomber planes bombed with fluffy pillows
( Pause )
( Repeat Yelling with Linnel and Flansburgh Now )
    E                   A
The day Marvin Gaye and Phil Ochs got married
    E                     B
The trees all waved their giant arms
    E                   A
And happiness bled from every street corner
    E             B           A  Abm F#m E
And bomber planes bombed with fluffy pillows
