PSA (BAD DAY)

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


{Intro}:   Eb (6th fret A-shape barre) four times

F (hammer-on)     C                     Bb

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 (?)
