Obstruction Day

Obstruction Day
Status Quo
1999

               A                     E
I woke up this morning, the sky was blue
               A                    D
Gonna take it easy, got nothing to do
                F#m               E  D
Ain't going to work, no bills to pay
                A  D A E
It's a perfect day


Then I slipped on the soap as I got in the shower
I turned on the lights, but there was no power
Could this happen to me? is this starting to be
An obstruction day? 

        F#m          G               A            D
We can send a man up to the moon, a satellite to mars
          F#m             G               A            D
We've got microwaves and ladyshaves and supersonic cars
                F#m             G               A            D
There's so much money in your pocket it don't matter who you are
            F#m              E                      A D A D
'cos there ain't no way to delay an obstruction day

I went for a drive but I wasn't alone
Too many people jamming the road
I'm gonna be late, I declare a state
Of obstruction day


Yeah, we can climb the highest mountain, tunnel right under the sea
We got mobile homes, mobile phones, digital pay tv
With all this technology we think that we are free
But there ain't no way to delay an obstruction day
Obstruction day

You can check it out with the weatherman, to see if the sun don't shine
Make plans if you wanna, and hope that it works out fine
You'll reach your destination but you won't arrive on time
'cos there ain't no way to delay an obstruction day
No, there ain't no way to delay an obstruction day
Woah, there ain't no way to delay an obstruction day



Great blues song this.
