CAPO: 3rd Fret
 
 
INTRO: G Bm G C Am F#m D Am F C D 
 
   G                     Em
An orange balloon on the distant horizon
    C                      Am
The air had a nip, for the sun was still rising
  D                  F
A delicate fusion of ambery tone
        C                            D
Brought warmth to the shore, where I walked all alone
 G      C     D
Another day begins
 
 
  G                        Em
A crab scuttled awkwardly, shyly away
   C                     Am
Perhaps the strangest of all nature's rebels
D                             F
Night shed its cloak with the sounds of the day
    C                 D
The gentle lap of the tide on the pebbles
 G      C     D      C      G C G  C
Another day begins, another day
 
 
    G                            Em      
The gulls on the breeze, soaring over my head
     C                  Am
Like marionettes with invisible thread
    D                     F
The day unfurled like the lights on a mast
C                     D
Spelling a message of sunshine at last
 G      C     D      C      G C G  
Another day begins, another day

BRIDGE:
 
I walked along for miles
    D          E
The clear blue sky was free
        G                 B
And the smiles shone like pearls on the sea
 A      D     E      D      A D A  D A       
Another day begins, another day
 
 
                    F#m
Far too soon it was time to be leaving
  D                      Bm          
A gull flew ahead of me, bobbing and weaving
   E                    G
It caught my eye with a quizzical stare
D                      E
Was it my love, was it she who was there?
 A      D     E
Another day begins
 
 
  A                             F#m
I climbed the steep path to the high cliff top's heather
    D                     Bm
The sea was as clear as a fresh mountain stream
    E                    G
The gull, as it circled away, dropped a feather
  D             E
A souvenir of a beautiful day dream
 A      D     E      D      A D A  D A 
Another day begins, another day
        D     E      D      A D A  D A  
Another day begins, another day
