Verse 2:
C
Monday morning Merle
                                       Fmaj7
Lets that old broken heart get back to work
    G
He hides all the holes and the hurt
                        C
Under the dirt on his shirt
        C
And the only way that he can get
C7
Through the days and the regret
     F
Is a song full of truth with some words he never said
            G
With those whiskey remedies
                                          C
And those old-school melodies you can't forget


Chorus:
              Fmaj7
That's why on Wednesday spins the Beatles
G
Thursday is the Eagles
         C               G/B           Am7
"Take it Easy" 'til that Friday rocks his world
      Fmaj7
After Saturday on Jackson Browne
     G
He's Sunday morning coming down
         C             G/B          Am7
And he's right back to missing that girl
