Bill Wurtz is a music who found his fame on youtube, and has been creating his songs and distinctive videos since 2002. I learned recently he’s the same guy who did that really cool “history of the entire world, i guess” video – less musical 😀
The song has a relatively simple melody, lots of #’s though, so great practice for beginners using a few of the more irregular notes. I hope you enjoy the letter notes below 🙂

Woke up in the morning
Bb-G# F# F#-F# F# D#-C#
Travelin’ straight into the sun,
F# F# F# F# Bb-^C#
Told my friends and family
Bb F# G#
I was gone
F# F# F# F# Bb-^C#
Looked back in the mirror,
Bb G#-F# F# F# F# D#-C#
Thought about who I had become
^D#
And!
Bb ^C# ^C# ^D# Bb-F#-F# G# F#
I don’t think that anything’s gone wrong!
F# F# F# F# Bb-^C#
Jumped out of my suitcase,
Bb F# F#- F# F# D# C#
And went travelin’ down the road
F# F# F# F# Bb ^C# Bb F# G#
Went back to the place where I was born
F#-F# F# F# Bb-^C#
Thinkin’ ’bout my future,
Bb-G# F# F# F# F# D# C#
Thinkin’ ’bout how far we have come
^D#
Oh!
Bb ^C# ^C# ^D# Bb-F# F# G# F#
I don’t think I’m gonna be goin’ home!
Bb ^C# ^D# ^C# Bb-G#-F#
And the day goes on ~ !
B Bb G# F#
Goes on, goes on.
B Bb
Goes on,
G# F# G# Bb F#
And the day goes on….
Bb ^C# ^D# ^C# Bb-G#-F#
And the day goes on ~ !
B Bb G# F#
Goes on, goes on.
B Bb
Hold on,
G# F# G# Bb F#
And the day goes on…
With many thanks to Amy for her kind contribution 🙂
