Ordinary Day - By Great Big Sea

From the album Play, track 1

GBS play this song without the capo, using lots of power chords. I

simplified the song a little by using a capo. If you want to play it with

power chords, transpose the chords up one step (E = F, A = B, B = C, F#m =

Gm). The strumming patterns are easy enough to pick up after hearing the

song a couple of times off the CD. Please send corrections to

ORDINARY DAY - By Great Big Sea

Capo 1

E A E A

E A E A

I've got a smile on my face, and I've got four walls around me.

E A E B

I've got the sun in the sky, all the water surrounds me, oh-ee-oh.

E A

Yeah, I'll win now, but sometimes I'll lose.

E A F#m B

I've been battered, but I never bruise, it's not so bad,

(Chorus)

E A B

And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day,

E A B

And it's all your state of mind.

E

At the end of the day,

A B E A E A

You've just got to say it's all right.

E A E A

Janie sings on the corner, what keeps her from dying?

E A E B

Let them say what they want, she won't stop trying, oh-ee-oh.

E A

She might stumble, if they push her `round.

E A F#m B

She might fall, but she'll never lie down, it's not so bad,

(Chorus)

E A E A E A

It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.

E A E A

In this beautiful life, there's always some sorrow.

E A E B

And it's a double edged knife, but there's always tomorrow, oh-ee-oh.

E A

It's up to you now if you sink or swim,

E A F#m B

Just keep the faith and your ship will come in, it's not so bad,

E A B

And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day,

E A B

And it's all your state of mind.

E A B

At the end of the day, you've just got to say...

(Chorus)

E A

It's all right, it's all right.

E A E

`Cause I've got a smile on my face and I've got four walls around me.
