Two measure Instrumental lead-in in G 

verse 1: 

     G                                          C 
Well I've fallen just about as far as I'm gonna fall 
          D                                   G 
Well I've never been this low before that I recall 
    G                                        C 
And I'm getting' tired of people pickin' on me 
      D                                     G 
And I ain't a-goin' down from here wait and see 



                   G              C 
There's gonna be a new dawn and a new day 
D                                          G 
From this moment on things are gonna break my way 
                 G               C 
I'm gonna wear a new smile and a new face 
D                                          G 
And then I'm goin' out and get back in the race 


Same two measure Instrumental in G 

verse 2: 

       G                                   C 
Well a-people been a-walkin' on me way too long 
        D                                       G 
And the way I got it figured I've been doin' it wrong 
   G                                    C 
So from now on I'm a-gonna look out for me 
          D                                    G 
I'm gonna do what I want and be what I want to be 



                   G              C 
There's gonna be a new dawn and a new day 
D                                          G 
From this moment on things are gonna break my way 
                   G               C 
I'm a-gonna wear a new smile and a new face 
    D                                      C 
And then I'm goin' out and get back in the race
