Take It From Day To Day Chords by Stan Rogers

_ _ _ _ _ _ Well, it's not [C] the hours of watch on [G] watch, And it's not the work that [D] I mind so [G] much,
Or the long cold miles [Dm] from my [C] lover's touch, Though [Am] for sure she's [D] far away.
No [C] stranger I to the touch of steel, [G] Or the honest [C] fear [D] any man can feel,
But [G] I long for dust [C] under my [G] heels, And a pocket full of pay.
[C] So [G] I'll take it from [D] day [G] to day.
The pack-ice round [D] us cracks and [G] groans, The old [C] saint rock she creaks and moans,
[G] The icy fog is in my bones, And the ache won't [D] go away. _
Outside [C] I bet it's [G] warm and fair, I could [C] have her fingers [D] in my hair,
[G] But it's long cold miles to [Cm] her out there, [G] So I guess I'll have to [C] stay,
And [G] just take [D] it from [G] day to day.
[D] We're as far north now as I want [C] to come, But Larson's [G] got us under his thumb,
[D] And I signed up [G] for the whole [C] damn run, I [Am] can't get off [D] half way. _
[Gm] But when I get back [D] unto [G] the shore, I'm going [C] south where [D] it stays [G]
warm,
And there'll be someone [C] on my arm, [G] To help me [Am] spend my pay.
[C] So [G] I'll take [D] it from [G] day to day. _
