What A Strange Day

Biography:

Dr. Dog is a indie rock group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania which formed in 1999. The current lineup consists of Scott "Taxi" McMicken (vocals, guitar), Toby "Tables" Leaman (vocals, bass), Zach "Text" Miller (keyboards, guitar), Frank "Thanks" McElroy (guitar) and Eric "Teach" Slick (drums).

"There's a little folk, blues, indie rock, soul, bluegrass--and a whole lot of down-home harmonizing. It conjures images of old friends sitting on a porch swapping instruments and just letting the tape recorder run." - Doug Wallen

[Verse 1]
G G6
What a strange day
C G
Maybe I was dreaming
G Am
Nothing seemed entirely awake
G
And what uncertain light

[Verse 2]
G G6
And what a strange night
C G
It's dancing with the candle
G Am
The atmosphere is scandalous and drunk
G
You could cut it with a knife

[Verse 3]
G G6
What a strange life
C G
Even as it's passing
G Am
It's hard to see it happening at all
G
Like a shadow on the wall

[Verse 4]
G G6
Now what a strange god
C G
If everything is nothing
G Am
Then why is nothing ever what it seems
G
What a hidden kind of love

[Verse 5]
G G6
And what a strange word
C G
Just because you told it
G Am
Don't mean you told anything at all
G
It's better from a mime

[Verse 6]
G G6
And what a strange line
C G
Wrapped around in letters
G Am
A drawing of a symbol for a sound
G
It's never right before it's wrong

[Verse 7]
G G6
And what a strange song
C G
A heart to beat the rhythm
G Am
A brain to move the melody along
G
A tune of everybody's choice

[Verse 8]
G G6
And what a strange voice
C G
Coming from the speaker
G Am
Recorded on the twentieth of May
G
What a strange day
