Year On Year Day By Day
Passenger
Attempt to capture chords from the YouTube video Passenger posted on 10 May 2020: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP24maebVdA For the most part he strums straight eighth notes through the whole song just varying the accents. The chords indicated with asterisks are single strums. The notes in parentheses are individual notes to walk between chords. [Intro] G Dsus4 Cadd9 x2 D7sus4 [Verse 1] G D Cadd9 Well is life just a walk up a steep hill? You get to the top and then it’s all downhill You’re spinning ’round like the arms of a windmill And you never slow down [Verse 2] G D Cadd9 And is love just a foolish emotion? G D Cadd9 A Hollywood dream just a childish notion Plenty of fish but I’m miles from the ocean For I’m scared that I’ll drown [Chorus 1] I always thought that I would see it coming Like a train rolling down the line I never dreamed that I would end up running Away from myself and out of time Hey hey hey I feel it slipping away Year on year day by day [Instrumental] G Dsus4 Cadd9 x2 [Verse 3] G* Dsus4* Cadd9* And how do you know when it’s really crunch time? G* Dsus4* Cadd9* You could choke on a fortune cookie one unfortunate lunchtime And I fear death could be the final punchline Of this comedy show So make ’em laugh before you go [Chorus 2] I always thought that I would feel it coming Like a storm in a summer sky I thought I’d hear the marching band drumming Thought I’d see the fireworks reflect in her eyes Hey hey hey I feel it slipping away Year on year day by day [Bridge] Well life can drag you under And it can feel so frightening Love can steal your thunder Or struck you down with lightning And at the end of it you’ll say [Chorus 3] I always thought that I’d see it land And the hairs on the back of my neck would stand But there’s no fireworks or marching band Just a letter from the queen if you live longer than planned oh Hey hey hey I feel it slipping away Year on year day by day Year on year day by day
