Brand New Day
Van Morrison

Van Morrison
Moondance
1970

I needed a quick song to do today, and this was it.  A
classic from Van's 1970 album which you guys will hopefully
use.  A tune from a Irishman for St. Patrick's Day!

F	C


I was lost double-crossed with my hands behind my back
I was long-time hurt and thrown in the dirt shoved out on the railroad track
I been used abused and so confused and I didn't have nowhere to run
But I stood and looked and my eyes got hooked on that beautiful morning sun


CHORUS


SOLO

play second half of verse chords


And the sun shines down on all the ground and the grass is oh so green
Yeah my heart is filled yeah I got the will yet I don't really feel so mean
Hear it come sure it comes here it comes right now here it comes right in on time
Well it eases me and appeases me let it satisfy my mind


CHORUS

repeat and fade
