Ordinary Day

Words & Music:

Great Big Sea

 

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, it's just an ordinary day,

         E        A        B

And it's all your state of mind.

       E                      A           B            E   A   E   A

At the end of the day, you've just got to say it's all right."

 

Janie sings on the corner, what keeps her from dying?

Let them say what they want, she won't stop trying, oh-ee-oh.

She might stumble, if they push her 'round.

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.

 

In this beautiful life, there's always some sorrow.

And it's a double-edged knife, but there's always tomorrow, oh-ee-oh.

It's up to you now if you sink or swim,

Just keep the faith and your ship will come in, it's not so bad...

 

CHORUS: (2x)

 

         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.
