One Day At A Time by Joe Walsh
One Day At A Time
Capo:no capo
Really nice distinctive Joe guitar work similar to his earlier stuff; plus it sure
sounds like Jeff and Ringo backing him up. At A chords at the end of the intro and verse
lines - add Asus4 variations to it. The times shown are elapsed time from the start;
chords by Marty Lurvey.

Verse 1
G D A
Well you know, I was always the first to arrive at the party,
G Bm A
Ooh... and the last to leave the scene of the crime.
G D
Well it started with a couple of beers,
G Bm
And it went I don't know how many years,
G A D
Like a runaway train headed for the end of the line. 0:47
Verse 2
G D A
Well I finally got around to admit that I might have a problem.
G Bm A
But I thought it was just too damn big of a mountain to climb.
G D
Well I got down on my knees and said "Hey!
G Bm
I just can't go on living this way!"
G A D
Guess I have to learn to live my life one day at a time. 1:19

Verse 3
G D A
Well I finally got around to admit that I was a problem.
G Bm A
When I used to put the blame on everybody's shoulders but mine.
G D
All the friends I used to run with are gone,
G Bm
Lord, I hadn't planned on livin' this long.
G A D
But I finally learned to live my life one day at a time! 2:54
Coda
G D
It was something I was too blind to see,
G Bm
I got help from something greater than me...
