[Verse 1]
Am E7/G#
When the day is done,
Am/G D9/F#
Down to earth then ...sinks the sun,
Fmaj7 Am
Along with everything that was lost and won,
F F7 E4 E
When the day is done!
[Verse 2]
Am E7/G#
When the day is done,
Am/G D9/F#
Hope so much your race will be all run,
Fmaj7 Am
Then you find ...you jumped the gun,
Dm7/F Am
Got to go back ...where you begun,
F E4 E Am
When the day is done!
[Verse 3]
Am E7/G#
When the night is cold,
Am/G D9/F#
Some get by, ...but some get old,
Fmaj7 Am
Just to show life’s not made of gold,
F F7 E4 E
When the night is cold!
[Verse 4]
Am E7/G#
When the bird has flown,
Am/G D9/F#
Got no one ...to call your own,
Fmaj7 Am
Got no place ...to call your home,
F E4 E Am
When the bird has flown!

[Verse 5]
Am E7/G#
When the game's been fought,
Am/G D9/F#
Newspaper blown a - cross the court,
Fmaj7 Am
Lost much sooner than you would’ve thought,
F F7 E4 E
Now the game’s been fought!
[Verse 6]
Am E7/G#
When the part is through,
Am/G D9/F#
Seems so very ....sad for you,
Fmaj7 Am
Didn’t do the things ...you meant to do,
Dm7/F Am
Now there’s no time ...to start anew,
F E4 E Am
Now the part is through!
[Verse 7]
Am E7/G#
When the day is done,
Am/G D9/F#
Down to earth then ...sinks the sun,
Fmaj7 Am
Along with everything that was lost and won,
F E4 E Am A4 Am Asus2 Am
When the day is done!
