Topic: "Another Day"

So with weather in the area and icy streets around this morning and predicted all day into the rush hour commute tonight I have time to sit and pop a song out about it, along with some chores around the house. The Eb+ I play like xx1003 just because I have trouble reaching the 4th fret on the high E but both chords sound okay to me so I can live with it. 

Another Day by Jeff Gilpin


February 22nd, 2008




Verse 1


[Em]Another day is [Eb+]dawning


[Em]Rub my eyes still [Eb+]yawning


[C]Look outside at


A[D]nother day so [G]cold[D]


[Em]Creak on down the [Eb+]stairs


[Em]And all that’s waiting [Eb+]there


[C]Pour my coffee as I


[D]Let the day take [G]hold




Chorus

[C]Another day [D]filled to over[G]flowing


[C]Another day [D]filled with opportune[Em]ty


[C]Another day the [D]world just keeps on [G]rolling


[C]Rolling on to endless possibili[D]ties




Verse 2


[Em]My deck is all iced [Eb+]over


As [Em]I put out my [Eb+]rover


[C]Trying hard to


[D]Somehow keep my [G]feet [D]


[Em]Make sure there’s food and [Eb+]water


[Em]Now what to do for a [Eb+]starter


I [C]check the fridge to


Find my [D]dog a little [G]treat




Chorus

[C]Another day [D]filled to over[G]flowing


[C]Another day [D]filled with opportune[Em]ty


[C]Another day the [D]world just keeps on [G]rolling


[C]Rolling on to endless possibili[D]ties





Verse 3


[Em]For work I’m getting [Eb+]ready


But the [Em]weather’s holding [Eb+]steady


It’ll [C]be another


[D]Drive of slip and [G]slide [D]


[Em]So I make a snap de[Eb+]cision


[Em]One with cautious opti[Eb+]mism


Cash [C]in some hours


And [D]hopefully stay a[G]live




Chorus

[C]Another day [D]filled to over[G]flowing


[C]Another day [D]filled with opportune[Em]ty


[C]Another day the [D]world just keeps on [G]rolling


[C]Rolling on to endless possibili[D]ties




Verse 4


[Em]So I’ll fill up my [Eb+]day


[Em]Knock some things out of the [Eb+]way


[C]Might as well with the


[D]Weekend drawing [G]near [D]


[Em]I’m sure that I can [Eb+]find


[Em]Some time to wrap my [Eb+]mind


[C]Around all that


[D]I hold so [G]dear




Chorus

[C]Another day [D]filled to over[G]flowing


[C]Another day [D]filled with opportune[Em]ty


[C]Another day the [D]world just keeps on [G]rolling


[C]Rolling on to endless possibili[D]ties

Re: "Another Day"

Hi Jeff,

I am wondering whether your message about the Ebaug chord came after you saw the chord chart. According to my info xx1003 is Eb+ and xx1004 is Gmmaj7 (G minor Major7). It is possible that the chord chart is incorrect and if I can get confirmation I will ask Per to amend the existing chart.

I will play your song and comment on it later.

Take care,

Roger

Re: "Another Day"

HI Jeff,

Just gave your song a whirl, strumming the verses and fingerpicking the chorus worked just fine for me, the Eb+ was just right in it too. I changed one word in the lyric though - I substituted cat for dog lol. Well done.

Hate to tell you, we had a little rain today but it is still T shirt weather in Portugal.

Re: "Another Day"

Hey Roger - Thanks - Enjoy your weather. I guess I could have had a t-shirt lifestyle but choose what I got so I guess I shouldn't complain. Just played it for the wife and she liked it too.  smile

Re: "Another Day"

Jeff,

Well done, again.

I love the line about  "...My deck is all iced over As I put out my rover..." that's funny!

Even funnier is Roger's cat named Rover!  smile

Good to know I wasn't the only girly-man today. I took off, too!

Nice song. Glad the Mrs. liked it.

Just play

Re: "Another Day"

Hey Larry - Thanks. I would have gone in but people drive like its a dry day in weather like this and I sometimes fear for my safety.
