Chord Shape listing by C. MacInnis
n.b.: Using the chord shapes I've outlined below, your brain will know how to easily
position your fingers instead of trying to go by what the true chord names are.
The "open" chords are the chords you would make if there was no capo involved.
Simple, eh? Good luck!

[Verse 1]
G A
Some people seem so obsessed with the morning
G A
Get up early just to watch the sun rise
G A
Some people like it more when there's fire in the sky
G A
Worship the sun when it's high
Em B7
Some people go for those sultry evenings
Em B7 Em
Sipping cocktails in the blue, red and grey
Em7 A7 D Dsus4 D
But I like every minute of the day
[Bridge 1]
G F#m G F#m
I like every second, so long as you are on my mind
G Bbdim
Every moment has its special charm
Bm A7sus4 A7
It's all right when you're around, rain or shine
[Verse 2]
G A
I know a crowd who only live after midnight
G A
Their faces always seem so pale
G A
And then there's friends of mine who must have sunlight
G A
They say a suntan never fails
Em B7
I know a man who works the night shift
Em B7 Em
He's lucky to get a job and some pay
Em7 A7 D Dsus4 D
And I like every minute of the day
[Bridge 2]
G F#m G F#m
I dig every second, I can laugh in the snow and rain
G Bbdim
I get a buzz from being cold and wet
Bm A7sus4 A7
The pleasure seems to balance out the pain
[Verse 3]
G A
And so you see that I'm completely crazy
G A
I even shun the south of France
G A
The people on the hill, they say I'm lazy
G A
But when they sleep, I sing and dance
Em B7
Some people have to have the sultry evenings
Em B7 Em
Cocktails in the blue, red and grey
Em7 A7 D Dsus4 D
But I like every minute of the day
G A7 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
I like every minute of the day
