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 

 
        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 

 
       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

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
