Roy Harper - "Another Day"
Transcription by Gordon Walker
Capo 3rd fret (see note at end for playing in the different keys).
[Verse 1]
     Cmaj7The kettle's on, B7the sun has gone, Emanother day.D  
     Cmaj7She offers me TiB7betan tea, on Ema flower tray.D  
     Cmaj7She's at the dooB7r, she want's to scoreEm, she dearly needs to Dsay:
[Chorus]
             G              D          A(  Asus4  A)
 "I loved you a long time ago, you know.
                         G              D            A(  Asus4  A)
  Where the winds own forget-me-nots blow.
  GBut I just couldn't Dlet myself Ago, not knowing what on EEarth there was to know.
  GBut I wish that I hDad 'cause I'm Gfeeling so saDd,
                  G             D           A(  Asus4  A)
  that I never had one of your children".
[Verse 2]
     Cmaj7And across the rB7oom, inside a tombEm, a chance is Dwaxed and waned.
     Cmaj7The night is yB7oung, why are Emwe so hung-up, Din each other's chains.
     Cmaj7I must take her, B7and I must make her, wEmhile the dove domains.D  
[Chorus]
                   G               D          A(  Asus4  A)
 and feel the juice run as she flies
              G              D            A(  Asus4  A)
  Run my wings under her sighs
  GAs the flames Dof enternity rAise, To lick us witEh the first born lash of dawn.
  GOh really my dear, DI can't see whGat we fear,D  
                  G         D           A(  Asus4  A)
  sat here with ourselves in between us.
[Verse 3]
     Cmaj7And at the door, B7we can't say moreEm, than just anDother day.
     Cmaj7And, without a B7sound, I turEmn around, and I Dwalk away.
Notes on chords, etc
--------------------
I've written this out as if played in 1st position. Roy actually plays this
with a capo on the 4th fret (so the first chord is in fact Emaj7) (although
I'm not sure he doesn't play it starting on Fmaj7 on the original??)
It goes very low singing it as written above - but I reckon to get away
with it (mind you I never get away with my singing in the first
place...). Whatever, best to think in terms of these chords.
The way Roy plays the chords (as if in 1st position):

If you're not into capos or low singing, the easiest key to transpose to
is up a 4th for which the chords would be (old ones in brackets):

Transcription by Gordon Walker

Capo 3rd fret (see note at end for playing in the different keys).

[Verse 1]

Cmaj7 B7 Em D

The kettle's on, the sun has gone, another day.

Cmaj7 B7 Em D

She offers me Tibetan tea, on a flower tray.

Cmaj7 B7 Em D

She's at the door, she want's to score, she dearly needs to say:

[Chorus]

G D A Asus4 A

( )

"I loved you a long time ago, you know.

G D A Asus4 A

( )

Where the winds own forget-me-nots blow.

G D A E

But I just couldn't let myself go, not knowing what on Earth there was to know.

G D G D

But I wish that I had 'cause I'm feeling so sad,

G D A Asus4 A

( )

that I never had one of your children".

[Verse 2]

Cmaj7 B7 Em D

And across the room, inside a tomb, a chance is waxed and waned.

Cmaj7 B7 Em D

The night is young, why are we so hung-up, in each other's chains.

Cmaj7 B7 Em D

I must take her, and I must make her, while the dove domains.

[Chorus]

G D A Asus4 A

( )

and feel the juice run as she flies

G D A Asus4 A

( )

Run my wings under her sighs

G D A E

As the flames of enternity rise, To lick us with the first born lash of dawn.

G D G D

Oh really my dear, I can't see what we fear,

G D A Asus4 A

( )

sat here with ourselves in between us.

[Verse 3]

Cmaj7 B7 Em D

And at the door, we can't say more, than just another day.

Cmaj7 B7 Em D

And, without a sound, I turn around, and I walk away.
