Celebration Day is a cool song that`s easy to play if you practice it for a while. Make sure you listen to it a few times before you attempt to play it. The entire song is in 4/4 so it should be easy to keep up.

Progression w/ Lyrics:

Riff 1

With Riff 1

Her face is cracked from smiling, all the fears that she`s been hiding, and it seems that pretty soon evr`ybody`s gonna know.

And her voice is sore from shouting, cheering winners who are losing, and she wonders if their days are few and soon they`ll have to go.

Riff 1

With Riff 2

My, my, my, I`m so happy,

I`m gonna join the band.

We are gonna dance and sing in celebration,

we are in the promised land.

With Riff 1

She hears them talk of new ways to protect the home she lives in, Then she wonders what it`s all about when they break down the door. Her name is Brown or White or Black; you know her very well. You hear her cries of mercy as the winners toll the bell.

Riff 1

With Riff 2

My, my, my, I`m so happy, I`m gonna join the band. We are gonna sing and dance in celebration, we are in the promised land.

Solo

With Riff 1

There is a train that leaves the station heading for your destination, But the price you pay to nowhere has increased a dollar more. Yes, it has! And if you walk you`re gonna get there although it takes a little longer, And when you see it in the distance you will wring your hands and moan.

Repeat [Riff 1] until fade out

This is the solo for Celebration Day:
