When the day is done

Down to earth then sinks the sun

Hope so much your race’ll be all run
Bb                              Dm
Then you find you’ve jumped the gun

Have to go back where you begun

When the day is done

When the night is cold

When the bird has flown

Got no one to call your own

When the bird has flown

When the games been fought
F/C                          G/B
Newspaper blown cross the court 

Bb                                   Dm
Lost much sooner than you would’ve thought
Bb                   A7
Now the game’s been fought


[Verse 6]
Dm                    A/C#
When the part is through
F/C                     G/B
Seems so very sad for you
Bb                                   Dm
Didn’t do the things you were meant to do
Bb                         Dm
Now there’s no time start anew
 A/C#                   Dm
Now the part is through


[Verse 7]
 Dm                A/C#
When the day is done
 F/C                     G/B
Down to earth then sinks the sun

Bb                            Dm
 Along with everything that was lost and won


[Outro]
Bb              Dm
When the day is done
