F                     G
Some people seem so obsessed with the morning
       F                           G
Get up early just to watch the sun rise
F                                     G
Some people like it more when there's fire in the sky
F                         G
Worship the sun when it's high
Dm                          A7
Some people go for those sultry evenings
        Dm               A7            F 
Sipping cocktails in the blue, red and grey
    F            G             C      Csus4 C...
But I like every minute of the day

F            G          F                     G
I like every second, so long as you are on my mind
F                    G
Every moment has its special charm
         Csus4                             G
It's all right when you're around, rain or shine

F                             G
Some people on the hill, they think I’m crazy
  F                      G
I even shun the south of France
F                                 G
The same people on the hill, they say I'm lazy
F                               G
But when they sleep, I sing and dance
       Dm       A7                Dm
I was a man who worked the night shifts
      Dm                 A7       F
I was lucky to get a job and some pay
  F              G              C    C Csus4 C Csus4
But I like every minute of the day

F           G             F             G
I dig every second, I can laugh in the snow and rain
F                    G
I get a buzz from being cold and wet
   Dm                             G
The pleasure seems to balance out the pain

   F            G     G5   G    G5
And so you see that I'm completely crazy
     F                    G5
I’ll even sing this verse again
    F                        G
The people on the hill, they say I'm lazy
             F                G5
But when they sleep, I sing and dance
Dm                     A7
Some people go for the sultry evenings
Dm               A7     Dm     F
Cocktails in the blue, red and grey
  F              G              C    C Csus4 C Csus4

But I like every minute of the day
  F         G              C    C Csus4 C Csus4
I like every minute of the day
