Capo No
[Verse 1]
C
Now you’re gonna guess you’re happy that you’re finally free from me,
Am
If my mind was half way workin’ I guess that I would be!
C
But my senses are still foggy, nowhere near reality, ‘till the eve of ever
G C
I’ll be waiting, come back to me.
[Chorus]
C
But that’ll be the day.
That’ll be the day.
When the wild winds are blowin’ and the sun turns out its light.
That’ll be the day alright.
C
That’ll be the day alright.
[Verse 2]
C
Well the time is gettin’ longer won’t you ever come inside,
Am
I keep teardrops on the window every day and most the night.
C
There’s a path worn slowly from the mailbox to the door,
G C
Which is always standing open if you’d like to try once more.
[Chorus]
C
But that’ll be the day.
That’ll be the day.
When the wild winds are blowin’ and the sun turns out its light.
That’ll be the day alright.
C
That’ll be the day alright.
C
But that’ll be the day.
That’ll be the day.
C
When the wild winds are blowin’ and the sun turns out its light.
That’ll be the day alright.
C
That’ll be the day alright.

[Intro]
E A

You’ve got me hanging in the air,
A
Like the stars up in the sky,

Not knowing if you care,
A
If I live or die.

With half the girls in town,

While the world goes whizzin’ by.
[Verse 3]
E E7
You got me danglin’ on a string,
A
Like a puppet in a plane,
E
Trying hard to sing,
A
But the tears won’t go away,
D
If I had have a mind,
A
I leave you behind,
E
But I just hang there, like anew,

While the world goes whizzin’ by.

Like a top upon the floor,
E
Each time you throw me down,
A A7
I spin back for more,

I’m so high in the air,
A
I can’t see land nowhere,
E
And I just hang there, like anew,
E7 A
While the world goes whizzin’ by.
