Intro:
G D Bm C G


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

Chorus:
        Em         C            D       G
Every day another man reaches out his hand
        C               A                   D
Every moment there's a shifting in the sand
        C               D
Every whisper in the wind
        G       F#m      Em
Brings a good man back again
G                       D
Settle me down in my dreams tonight
Am          Bm      Cm        Eb   G
Tomorrow's another day to blow my blues away


Verse 2:
                     D
Lots of folks will tell you that
  Am                       C
A man can go thru' life
                D               G
Taking what he wants along the way
                         D
But until all men are freed
          A               Am
Each one gets but what he needs
        C          D            G
The experience of living every day


Chorus:
       Em           C          D         G
Every day another man reaches out his hand
        C               Am              D    A
Every moment there's a shifting in the sand
D       C               D
Every whisper in the wind
          G     F#m     Em
Brings a good man back again
G                       D
Settle me down in my dreams tonight
Am         Bm       Cm     Eb       G
Tomorrow's another day to blow my blues away


Solo:
D Am C D G
D Am F C D G


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