[F]
[D#] [C#] [D#] [C#]
Some days you get diamonds, [F#] some days [D#] nickels and dimes, [F#m] some days [D#] life's a poor, [G#] some days
nothing rhymes.
[C#] Some days you're a winner, [F#] some [D#] days you lose, [C#] some days all you're doing
is paying dues.
[G#m] [C#] On a Wednesday [G#] I was [C#] playing in a biker bar,
[D#] [C#] outside the clubhouse, and
I got to Pika.
[D#] [C#] On that Friday [D#]
I was [C#] playing on a blues cruise, going to Dominica, ebbs
[F#] and flows [C#] like [G#] the tide.
[C#] Some days you get diamonds, [F#] some days [D#] nickels and dimes, [F#] some
days [D#] sparkle, [G#] some [C#] days nothing shines.
Some days you're giving, [F#] [C#] some days you [D#] choose,
[C#] some days all you're doing is paying dues.
[D#]
[C#] Tonight I'm sleeping in a five star hotel,
[D#m] [C#] wouldn't ask for more, [D#] [C#] but I remember [D#]
I wound [C#] up many a night, sleeping on the strangest
floor.
[F#] Sometimes you walk, [G#] sometimes you [C#] ride.
[F#]
[D#] [F#] [D#] [G#]
[C#] [F#]
[D#] [C#]
Some folks treat you like [D#] something [C#] under their shoe, [F#] ain't [C#] nothing new.
[D#] [C#] Others greet
you [D#] like a [C#] holy prophet.
[D#] [C#] Now what you're going to do,
[D#] [C#] [F#] is try to take it [C#] all in [G#] stride.
[C#] Some days you get diamonds, [F#] some days [D#] nickels and dimes, [F#] some [D#] days you're out of tune, [G#] some
days it all chimes.
[C#] Some days you're grinning, [F#] some days you're [D#] frowning the blues, [C#] some
days all you're doing is paying dues.
Some days all you're doing is paying dues.
[F#] [C#]
Some days you're grinning, some days you're frowning the blues, some days you're out of
