these are the chords to the song “one day” by matisyahu as performed by him
acoustically on the spinner festival of light in 2010 .
capo : 3rd fret
intro : G D Em C
G D Em C
sometimes i lay under the moon , i thank god i’m breathing
G D Em C
then i pray don’t take me soon , i Am here for reason
pre – chorus :
G D Em C
sometimes in my tears i drown , but i never let it get me down
C D Em C
so when negativity surrounds , i know someday it’ll all turn around ’cause
chorus :
G D Em C
all my life i’ve been waiting for , i’ve been praying for , for the people to say
G D Em C
that we don’t wanna fight no more , there’ll be no more wars , and our children will play
G D Em C
one day , one day , one day , oh oh oh
G D Em C
one day , one day , one day
G D Em C
it’s not about win or lose , ’cause we all lose when they feed on the
G D Em C
souls of the innocent , blood – drenched pavement , keep on movin’ though the waters stay ragin’
G D Em C
in this maze you could lose your way , your way
G D Em C
it might drive you crazy , but don’t let it phase you no way , no way
{pre – chorus}
{chorus}
the chords are the same but palm muted . you play the first three chords
quickly and muted ( G , D and Em ) and loudly strum the last one ( the C ) . then it goes into arpeggios .
bridge :
G D Em C
one day this all will change , treat people the same , stop with the violence , down with the hate
G D Em C
one day we’ll all be free , and proud to be under the same sun singing songs of freedom like
G D Em C
wye oh woh oh oh
G D Em C
wye oh woh oh oh
{chorus} – starts slower and gradually speeding up to normal speed .
outro : G D Em C x2
