Take it from day to day
Stan Rogers
Album: From Coffee House to Concert Hall (2000)
Verse 1:
FWell, it's not the hFours of wGatch-on-wFatch,
FAnd it's not the wFork that I mGind so mDmuch,
Or the lFong cold miles from my lFover's touch,
'Though for sFure she's fDmar awGay.
No Fstranger, FI, to the Gtouch of sFteel,
Or the hFonest fFear any mGan can fDmeel,
But I lFong for dust undFer my heels
And a pFocket full of pDmay
FSo I'll Ftake it from dGay to dFay.
Verse 2:
FThe pack-ice 'rFound us cGracks and gFroans;
FThe old St. RFoch, she cGreaks and mDmoans.
The iFcy fog is iFn my bones,
And the aFche won't Dmgo awGay.
FOutside I bFet it's wGarm and fFair.
FI could have her fFingers iGn my hDmair,
But it's lFong, cold miles to hFer out there
So I gFuess I'll have to sDmtay
FAnd just tFake it from dGay to dFay!
Chorus:
We're as fGar North now as I wFant to cFome,
But LFarsen's got us uFnder his thumb,
And GI signed up for the wFhole damned rFun,
I Dmcan't get off half wGay.
But when FI get bFack unGto the sFhore,
FI'm going SFouth where iGt stays wDmarm,
And tFhere'll be someone oFn my arm
To hFelp me spend my pDmay,
FSo I'll tFake it from dGay to dFay.
(fiddle solo over same chords as verse)
(repeat chorus)
(fiddle solo over first half of verse)
No sFtranger, FI, to the tGouch of sFteel
And the hFonest fFear any Gman can fDmeel,
But I lFong for dust undFer my heels
And a pFocket full of pDmay,
FSo I'll tFake it from dGay to dFay.
