Verse 1:
            D MajorD
Days are short, and I ain't down
   A minorAm
The sun is on the hill
C majorC        D MajorD        G+G
Looking in my suitcase for a friend
           D MajorD
The door was opened wide
      A minorAm
You know I lost a little pride
    C majorC     D MajorD      G+G
And inside it was just another man

Chorus:
    E minorEm     C majorC      D MajorD    G+G
Every day another man reaches out his hand
    C majorC        A augmentedA          D MajorD
Every moment there's a shifting in the sand
    C majorC        D MajorD
Every whisper in the wind
    G+G    F# minorF#m   E minorEm
Brings a good man back again
G+G            D MajorD
Settle me down in my dreams tonight
A minorAm     B minorBm   C minorCm    Eb MajorEb  G+G
Tomorrow's another day to blow my blues away


Verse 2:

Lots of folks will tell you that
 A minorAm            C majorC
A augmentedA man can go thru' life
        D MajorD        G+G
Taking what he wants along the way
             D MajorD
But until all men are freed
     A augmentedA        A minorAm
Each one gets but what he needs
    C majorC     D MajorD      G+G
The experience of living every day

Brings a good man back again

Tomorrow's another day to blow my blues away

Outro:
        D MajorD
I woke up this morning
     A minorAm
I awoke upon my knees
B minorBm   C majorC     D MajorD         G+G
Crying oo-wee, I don't know where I am
           D MajorD
I feel just like a clown
    A minorAm
Every time I move around
     C majorC       D MajorD        G+G
Because, after all, I'm just another man
