Capo 1 (Key of F)
INTRO:
G Csus2 (2X)
G Csus2 G Csus2 I've got a smile on my face and four walls around me G Csus2 I've got the sun in the sky and all these waters surround me G D Oh, Hey oh G Csus2 Yeah, I'll win now but sometimes I'll lose, G Csus2 D I've been battered but I never bruise, it's not so bad... (C capella) And I say...
Chorus:
G Csus D Way, hey, hey, it's just an ordinary day, G Csus2 D And it's all your state of mind. G Csus2 D G At the end of the day, you've just got to say it's alright. G Csus2 G Csus2 Janie sings on the corner, what keeps her from dying? G Csus2 Let them say what they want, she won't stop trying. G D Oh, hey oh. G Csus2 She might stumble if they push her 'round G Csus2 D She might fall, but she'll never lie down, its not so bad...
And I said...
Chorus
G Csus2 G Csus2 In this beautiful life there is always some sorrow. G Csus2 And it's a double edged knife, but there's always tomorrow. G D Oh, hey, oh. G Csus2 It's up to you now if you sink or swim, G Csus2 D Keep the faith and your ship will come in, it's not so bad..
And I say...
Chorus. Finger accordian stuff. Chorus 2X
G Csus2 G 'Cause I've got a smile on my face and four walls around me.
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.
