Ordinary Day - Great Big Sea
Tabbed by Adam Bishop
http://www.angelfire.com/mi/Grenfell/index.html
Capo on the fifth fret. All tab is relative to capo.
C 332010
F 133211
G 320033
Dsus4 xx0233
Of course, you can play F, C, Bb, and Gsus4 on the first fret without a
capo, but this is how they play it. It also might just be C and F all
the
way through the song, it sounds like it is, I just got bored with that
and played G and Dsus4 too. It works either way.
