G+G    D MajorD    C majorC
G+G    D MajorD    C majorC

G+G        D MajorD        C majorC    G+G
Sunday morning hell, it's finally come
    D MajorD        C majorC
Washed these bleary eyed windows just to see the sun
G+G    EM       A augmentedA
And I keep on thinking it will pass some time
C majorC            D MajorD
Bring back the peace of mind and carry that old smile of mine

Chorus:
C majorC            G+G        EM
If I were a child I would cry and beg your pardon
C majorC    D MajorD    G+G        EM   C majorC
If I were a beggar I would hold out my hand
D MajorD        G+G        EM   C majorC
If I were an angel I would smile and say you owe me
        D MajorD    C majorC        G+G
But I am just a lady you never tried to understand

G+G    D MajorD        C majorC    G+G
Why am I so cold inside today
    D MajorD        C majorC
These home town streets look so dirty and gray
G+G    EM       A augmentedA
And I don't want to save it until the night rolls in
C majorC            G+G
Do you feel the pain my friend?
C majorC    D MajorD
Well it's alright

(Chorus)

G+G    D MajorD    C majorC
G+G    D MajorD    C majorC

G+G    D MajorD        C majorC
Those old morning after blues go a hold of me
G+G    D MajorD        C majorC
I'm a Saturday night drunk with no place to drink
G+G    EM   A augmentedA
And I don't want to face the truth I see in me
C majorC    D MajorD        G+G    C majorC
"Cause in my mind I already going home to Satan

(Chorus)

D MajorD    C majorC    G+G    D MajorD
