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
GDEmC
Sometimes I lay under the moon, I thank God I'm breathing
GDEmC
Then I pray don't take me soon, I am here for reason
Pre-chorus:
GDEmC
Sometimes in my tears I drown, but I never let it get me down
CDEmC
So when negativity surrounds, I know someday it'll all turn around 'cause
Chorus:
GDEmC
All my life I've been waiting for, I've been praying for, for the people to say
GDEmC
That we don't wanna fight no more, there'll be no more wars, and our children will play
GDEmC
One day, one day, one day, oh oh oh
GDCm
One day, one day, one day
GDEmC
It's not about win or lose, 'cause we all lose when they feed on the
GDEmC
Souls of the innocent, blood-drenched pavement , keep on movin' though the waters stay ragin'
GDCm
In this maze you could lose your way, your way
GDCm
It might drive you crazy, but don't let it phase you no way, no way
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:
GDEmC
One day this all will change, treat people the same, stop with the violence, down with the hate
GDEmC
One day we'll all be free, and proud to be under the same sun singing songs of freedom like
GDEmC
Wye oh Woh oh oh
GDEmC
Wye oh Woh oh oh
- Starts slower and gradually speeding up to normal speed.
Outro: G D Em C x2
