#---------------------------------------------------------# # You know the copyright drill, I don't have to repeat it.# # This is my transcription, interpretation, of the song. # # Strictly for private study. # #---------------------------------------------------------# Ordinary Day Great Big Sea From the album "Play" c. 1997 Capo 1 (Key of F) INTRO: G Csus2 (2X)

I've got a ^Gsmile on my face and ^Csus2four walls around me^G ^Csus2 I've got the ^Gsun in the sky and all these ^Csus2waters surround me ^GOh, Hey ^Doh Yeah, I'll ^Gwin now but sometimes I'll ^Csus2lose, I've been ^Gbattered but I never ^Csus2bruise, it's not so ^Dbad...

(C capella) And I say... Chorus:

^GWay, hey, hey, it's just an ^Csusordinary ^Dday, ^GAnd it's all your ^Csus2state of ^Dmind. ^GAt the end of the day, you've ^Csus2just got to ^Dsay it's al^Gright.

^GJanie sings on the corner, what ^Csus2keeps her from dying?^G ^Csus2 Let them ^Gsay what they want, ^Csus2she won't stop trying. ^GOh, hey ^Doh. She might ^Gstumble if they push her '^Csus2round She might ^Gfall, but she'll never lie ^Csus2down, its not so ^Dbad...

And I said... Chorus

^GIn this beautiful life there is ^Csus2always some sorrow. ^G ^Csus2 And it's a ^Gdouble edged knife, but there's ^Csus2always tomorrow. ^GOh, hey, ^Doh. It's up to ^Gyou now if you sink or ^Csus2swim, Keep the ^Gfaith and your ship will come ^Csus2in, it's not so ^Dbad..

And I say... Chorus. Finger accordian stuff. Chorus 2X

'Cause I've got a ^Gsmile on my face and ^Csus2four walls around ^Gme.

A feel good Newfie song. You can play it in E without the capo and it sounds fine. Feel free to take a swing at filling in a lead someplace...that's what Newfoundland music is all about - improvising in the kitchen. Chords: G - 022100 Csus2 - 002200 D - 224442
