Capo: 3rd fret
[Intro]
C G Am F
[Verse 1]
C
I had the greatest day of my life
G
The boys were shooting doubles under western starlight
Am F
I rode a boat across the bay
C
Pheonix to Seattle to San Francisco
G
Hearing Debbie laugh under downtown bar glow
Am F
Louie telling me he feels free from yesterday
C
Drank a cup of coffee couple hours south of
G
The place I used to run around
Am F
When I was too young to really know
C
The difference in love and longing for it
G
When to shut up and when to stay with it
Am F
How to forgive and just let go
[Chorus]
Am G
This is the greatest day of my life
C F
If I move or close my eyes
Am G C F
It'll be gone and so will I
Am G
So come on in and stay awhile
C F
Years are just moments in a great big pile
Am G C F
She's there laughing on the porch swing of my mind
Am G C
I'm just grateful to be here closing time
[Break]
C G Am F
[Verse 2]
C
I had the greatest day of my life
G
Rolled up a single in a New York high rise
Am F
How the city makes a country boy dream
C
Played pool in Colorado after snow all night
G
Rained in Carolina but we played just fine
Am F
Charles is always better than last week
C
What did I do to deserve all this?
G
Roof over my head and a band that don't miss
Am F
Healthy dog that hugs me when I'm home
C G Am F
Nowadays I don't feel so alone
C G Am F
It can't get better, but what have I ever known?
[Chorus]
Am G
This is the greatest day of my life
C F
If I move or close my eyes
Am G C F
It'll be gone and so will I
Am G
So come on in and stay awhile
C F
Years are just moments in a great big pile
Am G C F
She's there laughing on the porch swing of my mind
Am G C F
Nowadays I ain't so lonely all the time
Am G C
I'm just grateful to be here closing time
[Verse 1]
C
I had the greatest day of my life
G
The boys were shooting doubles under western starlight
Am F
I rode a boat across the bay
[Outro]
C G Am F
I had the greatest day of my life
The boys were shooting doubles under Western star-light
I rode a boat across the bay
Phoenix to Seattle to San Francisco
Hearing Debbie laugh under downtown bar-glow
Louie telling me he feels free from yesterday
Frank a cup of coffee couple hours south
Of the place I used to run around
When I was too young to really know
The difference in love and longing for it
When to shut up and when to stay with it
And how to forgive and just let go
'Cause this is, the greatest day of my life
If I move or close my eyes
It'll be gone and so will I
So come on in and stay awhile
Years are just moments in a great big pile
And she's there laughing on the porch swing of my mind
And I'm just grateful to be here at closing time
I had the greatest day of my life
Wrote up a single in a New York high rise
How the city makes a country boy dream
Played pool in Colorado after snow all night
It rained in Carolina but we played just fine
Charles is always better than last week
What did I do to deserve all this?
A roof over my head and a band that don't miss
A healthy dog that hugs me when I'm home
Nowadays I don't feel so alone
It can't get better
But what have I ever known?
'Cause this is, the greatest day of my life
If I move or close my eyes
It'll be gone and so will I
So come on in and stay awhile
Years are just moments in a great big pile
And she's there laughing on the porch swing of my mind
And I'm just grateful to be here at closing time
I had the greatest day of my life
The boys were shooting doubles under Western star-light
I rode a boat across the bay
