Capo 1 (Key of F)
INTRO:
E Asus2 (2X)
I've got a [E]smile on my face and [Asus2]four walls around me[E] [Asus2]
I've got the [E]sun in the sky and all these [Asus2]waters surround me
[E]Oh, Hey [B]oh
Yeah, I'll [E]win now but sometimes I'll [Asus2]lose,
I've been [E]battered but I never [Asus2]bruise, it's not so [B]bad...
(a capella)
And I say...
Chorus:
[E]Way, hey, hey, it's just an [Asus]ordinary [B]day,
[E]And it's all your [Asus2]state of [B]mind.
[E]At the end of the day, you've [Asus2]just got to [B]say it's al[E]right.

[E]Janie sings on the corner, what [Asus2]keeps her from dying?[E] [Asus2]
Let them [E]say what they want, [Asus2]she won't stop trying.
[E]Oh, hey [B]oh.
She might [E]stumble if they push her '[Asus2]round
She might [E]fall, but she'll never lie [Asus2]down, its not so [B]bad...
And I said...
Chorus
[E]In this beautiful life there is [Asus2]always some sorrow.[E] [Asus2]
And it's a [E]double edged knife, but there's [Asus2]always tomorrow.
[E]Oh, hey, [B]oh.
It's up to [E]you now if you sink or [Asus2]swim,
Keep the [E]faith and your ship will come [Asus2]in, it's not so [B]bad..
And I say...
Chorus. Finger accordian stuff. Chorus 2X
'Cause I've got a [E]smile on my face and [Asus2]four walls around [E]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.
Chords:
E - 022100
Asus2 (Aadd9(no3)- no 3rd, but 2nd from AMaj triad) - 002200
