Jerry Reed – Today Is Mine (Guitar)

D
When the sun came up this morning,

Em                          A
I took the time to watch it rise.

           D
And as its beauty struck the darkness from the

A                  D             D7
sky, I thought how small and unimportant

G
all my troubles seem to be

        Em                           A7
and how lucky another day belongs to me.

A          D                      Em
And as the sleepy world around me woke up to

A7
greet the day,

D                                 A  A7
All its silent beauty seemed to say,

            D7
“So what my friend, if all your dreams you

G
haven't realized?

          Em
Just look around you boy, you got a whole new

       A7
day to try.”

         D              F#m   Em
Today is mine. Today is mine, to do with what I

A
will.

D        Bm       Em                 A
Today is mine, my own special cup to fill.

D7               G                           Em
To die a little, that I might learn to live. To

                     A
take from life, that I might learn to give.

            D
Today is mine.

D                                    Em
Like most men, I cursed the present, void of

         A
peace of mind

            D                        Em
and race my thoughts beyond tomorrow envision

               A
there a better time.

         D7                       G
But as I view this day around me, I can see the

Em                                 A
For today's the only garden we can tend

         D              F#m   Em
Today is mine. Today is mine, to do with what I

A
will.

D        Bm       Em                 A
Today is mine, my own special cup to fill.

D7               G                           Em
To die a little, that I might learn to live. To

                     A
take from life, that I might learn to give.

         D
Today is mine.
