[verse 1]
C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4
Someone woke me up this mornin' and I lit a cigarette
C Csus4 C Csus4
Found myself when I stopped yawnin',
C Csus4 C Csus4
started getting myself dressed
G F
Then I felt I had a dream,
G F
I remembered the things I'd seen
C Csus4 C Csus4
I could still hear the things you said
C Csus4 C Csus4
with that bad dream in my head
G7 Fadd9 G7 Fadd9
It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day.
[verse 2]
C Csus4 C Csus4
So I called you on the phone
C Csus4 C Csus4
and your friend said "she's not home"
C Csus4 C Csus4
So I told her where I'd be at
C Csus4 C Csus4
and that you should call me back
G F
Then I looked at the morning mail,
G F
I was not even expecting a bill
C Csus4 C Csus4
Your letter a-started "Dear",
C Csus4 C Csus4
and it left me with these tears.
G7 Fadd9 G7 Fadd9
It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day
[verse 3]
C Csus4 C Csus4
Think of the times that we had rows,
C Csus4 C Csus4
but we patched them up somehow.
C Csus4 C Csus4
Think of the times I tried to go,
C Csus4 C Csus4
but you screamed and told me no
G F
There is only one thing in this world
G F
that I can't understand that's a girl
C Csus4 C Csus4
I keep a-readin' the things you said,
C Csus4 C Csus4
like a bad dream in my head.
G7 Fadd9 G7 Fadd9
It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day
[outro]
C Csus4 C Csus4 C
Oh, what a sad, sad, old day..a sad, old day
Csus4 C
It was a sad, old day,
Csus4 C Csus4 C
A sad, old day. It was a bad, old day
Csus4 C Csus4 C
Sad old day a bad old day.
G F
If there is one awful thing in this world,
G F
that I can't understand that's a girl
C Csus4 C Csus4 C
It was a sad, sad old day, sad old day
Csus4 C
It was a sad, old day.
repeat Csus4 C to fade.
