        C            Dm7 
Day in - Day out,  
G7+    C             G7      Cdim   C     Em7  
The same old hoodoo follows me about 
Cm7 Cdim       G7                 
The same old pounding in my heart,  
Dm7 G7                    Dm7 Eb7 
Whenever I think of you 
         G7          Eb7       Dm7   G7 
And darling I think of you,  
Dm7 G7             C 
Day  in and day out 
G7+    C         Dm7 
Day out, day in,  
G5+  C         G7         Cdim      C        Cm  Cm6         
I     needn't tell you how my days begin 
              G                               Dm7 
When I awake I get up with a tingle,  
G                            Dm7 
One possibility in view 
G              Bm        Am7     D7M   Dm7 G7 Cm G7 
That possibility of maybe seeing you 
G7+      C                Dm7 
Come rain, come shine,  
G7+  C            G7     Cdim     C       E7M  E7  A7 
I    meet you and to me the day is fine 
           D7M        D7   Fm 
Then I kiss your lips,  
              G5+                C            A7        D7 
And the pounding becomes an ocean's roar,  
Dm7  G7M        C 
A       thousand drums 
A7M  A7  D7              Fm 
Can't you see it's love,  
                G7M    C                 A7    C#dim  Dm7 
Can there be any doubt when there it            is,  
              G7   C   Fm6  Ab7 Dm7 G5+ C Fm6 C 
Day in - Day out
