[Verse 1]
G
I'm walkin' in fields of clover watchin' clouds go driftin' over
                                D
Listening as a songbird sings a special song for me
Am                                D                           D7
Catchin' all the rays of sunshine breathin' fresh air feelin' real fine
                              G
Can't remember when I felt so loose and fancy free

G
I loved him and I left him though it wasn't my idea you know it
                               C
Took a little pushin' from his side
                                       G
Though it took a little while I soon remembered how to smile
      D                               C           G
And today will be the first day of the rest of my life


[Chorus]
        C                               G
Cause today will be the first day of the rest of my life
    D                             G
I'm gonna start all over and this time I'll do it right
C                                   G
Thought I couldn't live without him then I saw the light
      D                               C           G
And today will be the first day of the rest of my life

[Verse 2]
G
At first I thought I had a true one can't remember when I knew one
                                D
That I loved and trusted like I did that man of mine
Am                                   D
Then there came the first suspicions I was sensing new additions
D7                              G
To his list of female friends I estimated nine

G
He lead me round by chain and collar spent my every dollar
                              C
Till I realized I wasn't very bright
                                      G
I'm so glad I did awake cause soon it would have been too late
      D                               C           G
And today will be the first day of the rest of my life


[Chorus]
        C                               G
Cause today will be the first day of the rest of my life
    D                             G
I'm gonna start all over and this time I'll do it right
C                                   G
Thought I couldn't live without him then I saw the light
      D                               C           G
And today will be the first day of the rest of my life
