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.
