Lyrics

At the end of the day you’re an oth er day (Cm)old er.

And that’s all you can say for the life of the (C)poor.

It’s a (Bb)strug gle, it’s a (F)war.

And there’s (Bb)noth ing that an y one’s (F)giv ing.

One more (Gm)day ter stand ing a (D7)bout, what is it (Eb)for?

One less day to be liv ing.

At the end of the day you’re an oth er day (Cm)cold er.

And the shirt on your back does n’t keep out the (C)chill.

And the (Bb)right eous hur ry (F)past.

They don’t (Bb)hear ing the lit tle one’s (F)cry ing.

And the (Gm)win ter is ing on (D7)fast, read y to (Eb)kill.

One day near er to liv ing.

dy ing.

At the end of the day there’s an oth er day (C)dawn ing.

And the sun in the morn ing is wait ing to (C)rise.

Like the (G)waves crash on the (D)sand, like a (G)storm that ’ll break an y (D)sec ond, there’s a (Ab)hun ger in the (Eb)land.

There’s a (Ab)reck on ing still to be (Eb)reck oned.

And there’s (Bb)gon na be hell to (F)pay

at the end of the (Gm)day.

At the end of the day you get noth ing for (Cm)noth ing.

Sit ting flat on your butt does n’t buy an y (Cm)bread.

There are (Bb)chil dren back at (F)home.

And the (Bb)chil dren have got to be (F)fed.

And you’re (Gm)luck y to be in a (D7)job, and in a (Eb)bed.

And we’re count ing our bless ings.

at the end of the (Gm)day.

About “At The End Of The Day

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "At The End Of The Day"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature Eb. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.

At The End Of The Day is arranged in the key of Eb on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "At The End Of The Day" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature Eb, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 120 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
