Ordinary
by Greg Jones

F Eb               Bb  F
  As a boy I would run to my school, 
F Eb		  Bb	    F
  Cutting through fields of clover.
F Eb             Bb    F
  Then they were gone: clean, good, and nice.
  F          Eb          Bb       Bb
  Covered by roads where cars now drive. 

Bb*          Ab       Gm   Bb
It's just an ordinary day.
Bb*                          Ab       Gm     Bb
I'm much to strange for this ordinary world.
Bb*          Ab       Gm   Bb
It's just an ordinary day.
Bb*                          Ab       Gm     Bb
I'm much to strange for this ordinary world. 

F Eb              Bb         F
  The more that I learn, the less that I know.
F Eb                    Bb      F
  Never thought I would want to slow down.
F Eb            Bb        F
  Just focus on clouds in blue skies,
F             Eb        Bb   
Above all the rain, the sun shines. 

Bb*          Ab       Gm   Bb
It's just an ordinary day.
Bb*                          Ab       Gm     Bb
I'm much to strange for this ordinary world.
Bb*          Ab       Gm   Bb
It's just an ordinary day.
Bb*                          Ab       Gm     Bb
I'm much to strange for this ordinary world. 

F                Eb
It's just an ordinary day.
  Bb     F
A circus full of clowns.
F                Eb
It's just an ordinary day.
  Bb     F
A circus full of clowns.
F                Eb
It's just an ordinary day.
  Bb     F
A circus full of clowns.
F                Eb
It's just an ordinary day.
  Bb     F
A circus full of clowns.


Bb*          Ab       Gm   Bb
It's just an ordinary day.
Bb*                          Ab       Gm     Bb
I'm much to strange for this ordinary world.
Bb*          Ab       Gm   Bb
It's just an ordinary day.
Bb*                          Ab       Gm     Bb
I'm much to strange for this ordinary world.

I use these chords

F    x  8 10 10 10  8
Eb   x  6  8  8  8  6
Bb   6  8  8  7  6  6
Bb*  x 11 13 13 13 11
G#   x  9 11 11 11  9
Gm   x  8 10 10  9  8

The verse uses this chord progression: 

F Eb Bb F (x3)
F Eb Bb (let ring and hold Bb through another measure)

With this strumming pattern:

F      Eb         Bb     F           (x3)
1&2&3&4&|1&2&3&4&|1&2&3&4&|1&2&3&4&
d dud du  ud d d  d dud du  ud d d

F      Eb         Bb     
1&2&3&4&|1&2&3&4&|1&2&3&4&|1&2&3&4&
d dud du  ud d d  d dud du d-------

(I play the verse for the "circus full of clowns" part... not sure that's 
right but it works out okay)

And for the chorus the chord progression is:

Bb* Ab Gm F (x4)

with the strumming pattern:

Bb*      Ab       Gm       Bb         (x4)
1&2&3&4&|1&2&3&4&|1&2&3&4&|1&2&3&4&
d d d du d d d du d d d du dud dud

This is how I play it.  I'm not an expert and I make mistakes all the time.
