On A Good Day
View chords used in this chart
D G
On a good day, the snow on the pines
A D
Could be diamonds the way it glitters and shines
D G
And on a good day, the steam from my cup
A D
Rises in a ribbon like a prayer going up
G D
And I can close my eyes and not see your smile
A A7 D
And I feel like myself again for a little while
G F# Bm
And the mountains breathe, just like they did before
G A D
On a good day I don't miss you anymore
D G
And on a good day, I can go to work
A D
Put on the busy-ness like a well-worn shirt
D G
And on a good day, I can dream again
A D
Talk about the future as if talkin' 'bout a friend
G D
And I can close my eyes and not see your smile
A A7 D
And I feel like myself again for a little while
G F# Bm
And the mountains breathe, just like they did before
G A D
On a good day I don't miss you anymore
Bm G D F#m
Some days the loneliness blows in like a winter squall
Bm G Asus4 A
It feels like this ice around my heart might never thaw
Bm F#m
And a cold wind moans inside of me
G Asus4 A
Through the empty space where you used to be
D G
But on a good day, I saddle up again,
A A7 D
Ride along the ridge line where the air is sweet and thin
G F# Bm
And I set your memory free like an eagle, let it soar
G Gm
On a good day, I don't miss you
D
