In my shoes,

In my shoes

Cool wind,

  F   G   Am   C  B Am G
Clear my head

Bright Sun Grow my food

    F   G   Am   C  B Am G
Strong rain clear my heart

  F   G   Am   C  B Am G
Fill my land

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
It's a new day


[CHORUS:]

Am     C Am             G        Am    C    Am
I           don't know why it is sold

           G         G
Don't know why it's so cold

(no chord)
In this life that we live


 F   G   Am   C  B Am G  (2X)

new day,   new day

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
new day,   new day

In my shoes,

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
In my shoes


 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
There is so much to astound me

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
As the whirlpool spins around me,

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
home

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
Bushfire,

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
burn and grow

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
Sunset watch and rest low

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
Long night holding child close

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
     feed my dream


[CHORUS:]


 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
new day,   new day

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
new day,   new day


[BRIDGE:]
F                 F#m       
It's larger than life,

F                 G       
It's darker than death,

F                       Em     G      Am
We're gonna move those mountains aside

(no chord)
Here come the messages


 F   G   Am   C  B Am G  (4X)

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
new day,   new day

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
new day,   new day

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G  (2X)

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
new day,   new day

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G
new day,   new day

 F   G   Am   C  B Am G  (4X, fades out)
