[Verse 1]
G B7
Well, I walked a thousand miles in these vagabond shoes
C A7
I met a cat down by the tracks and he taught me the blues
G G/F# Em B7 C
We were pickin' and a-singin' to them somber tunes
A7 D
With a cheap bottle of wine
[Verse 2]
G B7
Well, I don't gotta a penny, not a dime to my name
C A7
But if I made it rich, there'd be a few things I would change
G G/F# Em B7 C
I'd buy me a plot of land, and hell I'd stow the rest away
A7 D
Quit my ramblin' days
[Chorus]
C G
Sun goes up and that sun goes down
D Em
It's another night in a lonesome ghost town
C G A7 C
I just hope that I can see one more sunrise
G Bm7
Life can be hard if you've been dealt a bad hand
C A7
So, you pray on the river and go all in
G G/F# Em B7 C
And if you don't roll the dice, then how the hell you gonna win
C D G
Or so I'm learnin', one day at a time
[Verse 3]
G B7
Sometimes I think man was just meant to breed
C A7
A very certain kind of infectious greed
G G/F# Em B7 C
And if you don't do it my way, well then you're gonna bleed
A7 D
That never sat well with me
[Chorus]
C G
The sun goes up and that sun goes down
D Em
It's another night in a lonesome ghost town
C G A7 C
I just hope that I can see one more sunrise
G Bm7
Well, life can be hard if you've been dealt a bad hand
C A7
So, you pray on the river and go all in
G G/F# Em B7 C
But if you don't roll the dice, then how the hell you gonna win
C D G
Or so I'm learnin', one day at a time
[Verse 4]
G B7
Well, that cat down by the railroad tracks, he finally caught his train
C A7
I gotta little bit of money, it's keeping me sane
G G/F# Em B7 C A7
I bought me a one-man trailer, I guess it's true what they say about learnin'
D
One day at a time
[Chorus]
C G
And that sun goes up and that sun goes down
D Em
It's another night in a lonesome ghost town
C G A7 C
I just hope that I can see one more sunrise
G Bm7
Life can be hard if you've been dealt a bad hand
C A7
So, you pray on the river and go all in
G G/F# Em B7 C
But if you don't roll the dice, then how the hell you gonna win
C D G
Or so I'm learnin', one day at a time
G G/F# Em B7 C
Yeah, if you don't roll the dice, then how the hell you gonna win
C D G G
Or so I'm learnin', one day at a time
