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.
