[Verse 1]
Am                    E7/G#
      When the day is done,
Am/G                     D9/F#
      Down to earth then    ...sinks the sun,
Fmaj7                                 Am
      Along with everything that was lost and won,
F            F7     Esus4   E
    When the day is done!


[Verse 2]
Am                     E7/G#
       When the day is done,
Am/G                     D9/F#
       Hope so much your race will be all run,
Fmaj7                 Am
       Then you find   ...you jumped the gun,
Dm7/F                 Am
       Got to go back  ...where you begun,
F           Esus4  E  Am
    When the day  is done!


[Verse 3]
Am                       E7/G#
       When the night is cold,
Am/G                D9/F#
       Some get by,    ...but some get old,
Fmaj7                          Am
       Just to show life's not made of gold,
F            F7      Esus4   E
   When the night is cold!


[Verse 4]
Am                      E7/G#
      When the bird has flown,
Am/G             D9/F#
      Got no one    ...to call your own,
Fmaj7              Am
      Got no place  ...to call your home,
F          Esus4  E   Am
   When the bird has flown!

[Verse 5]
Am                          E7/G#
      When the game's been fought,
Am/G                      D9/F#
      Newspaper blown a - cross the court,
Fmaj7                            Am
      Lost much sooner than you would've thought,
F           F7         Esus4    E
   Now the game's been fought!


[Verse 6]
Am                       E7/G#
       When the part is through,
Am/G                 D9/F#
       Seems so very   ....sad for you,
Fmaj7                       Am
       Didn't do the things  ...you meant to do,
Dm7/F                       Am
       Now there's no time  ...to start anew,
F         Esus4  E  Am
   Now the part is through!


[Verse 7]
Am                    E7/G#
      When the day is done,
Am/G                     D9/F#
      Down to earth then    ...sinks the sun,
Fmaj7                                 Am
      Along with everything that was lost and won,
F          Esus4 E  Am    Asus4 Am   Asus2 Am
   When the day  is done!
