Meat Puppets is an American rock band formed in January 1980 in Phoenix, Arizona. The group's original lineup was Curt Kirkwood (guitar/vocals), his brother Cris Kirkwood (bass guitar), and Derrick Bostrom (drums). The Kirkwood brothers met Bostrom while attending Brophy Prep High School in Phoenix. The three then moved to Tempe, Arizona (a Phoenix suburb and home to Arizona State University) where the Kirkwood brothers purchased two adjacent homes, one of which had a shed in the back where they regularly practiced.

On [D] this day we were [A] miles away We saw a [G] clock up [D] in the [A] sky The [D] hands lay on the [A] show to pay Number [G] fallen [D] on its [A] side
[G] This day [A] [G] This day [A]
Just [D] one note that was [A] all she wrote And the [G] sound blew [D] down the [A] walls The [D] one boat that was [A] set to float Took a [G] trip right [D] down the [A] falls
This day, this day This day you were miles away This day
In [D] two ways we could [A] cut the haze And we [G] never [D] used a [A] knife In [D] those days there was [A] zero waste Now a [G] waste of [D] time is [A] life
[G] This day [A] [G] This day [A]
[D] This day, [A] [G] this day [A] [D] This day, [A] [G] this day [A] [D]
