Today Is Mine Chords by Jerry Reed

When the sun came up this morning, _ _ [E] I took the time to watch it _ rise,
[A] And as its beauty struck the darkness [E] from the skies,
_ _ _ [A] I thought how small and [D] unimportant [G] all _ my [Em] troubles seemed to be, _
And how lucky another day [E] belongs to me.
_ [A] _ _ And [D] as the sleepy world around me _ [E]
woke up to greet the day,
_ [D] _ _
_ All its silent beauty _ [E] seemed to say,
_ _ _ [A] So what my friend, _ [D] if all your dreams [Bm]
you haven't realized,
_ _ _ Look around you boy, you've got a [E] whole new day to try.
_ _ [A] _ _ [D] Today is mine, today [F#m] is _ mine,
[Em] _
To do with [A] what I will, today [F#m] is _ mine.
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [Em]
My own special [A] cup to fill, _ _ _ _ [D] to die a little, _ _
[G] _ That I might learn to _ live, [Em] _ _ to take from life, _ _
[E] _ That [Em] I might learn to [A] give, _
[D] _ today is mine.

_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Like all men, I curse the present, [E] that seems void of peace of mind,
_ [D] And race my [A] thoughts beyond tomorrow, _ [E] and vision there more peace of mind.
But [A] when I view the day [Am] around me, _ [Bm] _ I can see the fool I've been,
For today is the only garden [E] _ we can tend.
[A] _
_ Today [D] is mine, [F#m] today is _ _ [Em] mine,
To do with [A] what I will, [F#m] today is _ mine.
[Bm] _ _ _ [Em] My own special cup [A] to fill, _ _ _ _ to [D] die a little,
_ _ [G] _ That I might learn to live, [F#] _ _ [Em] _ to take from [Em] life,
_ [E] That I might [A] learn to give, _ _ [D] today is mine.
