verse 1:

    C majorC    Csus4Csus4  C majorC  Csus4Csus4  C majorC   Csus4Csus4 C majorC Csus4Csus4
Someone woke me up this mornin' and I lit a cigarette
    C majorC     Csus4Csus4   C majorC   Csus4Csus4
Found myself when I stopped yawnin',
    C majorC    Csus4Csus4 C majorC    Csus4Csus4
started getting myself dressed
   G+G       FF
Then I felt I had a dream,
   G+G           FF
I remembered the things I'd seen
    C majorC       Csus4Csus4   C majorC  Csus4Csus4
I could still hear the things you said
     C majorC     Csus4Csus4 C majorC  Csus4Csus4
with that bad dream in my head
     G7G7    Fadd9Fadd9  G7G7    Fadd9Fadd9
It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day.

verse 2:

   C majorC     Csus4Csus4 C majorC  Csus4Csus4
So I called you on the phone
     C majorC      Csus4Csus4   C majorC  Csus4Csus4
and your friend said "she's not home"
   C majorC    Csus4Csus4    C majorC Csus4Csus4
So I told her where I'd be at
     C majorC     Csus4Csus4  C majorC Csus4Csus4
and that you should call me back
    G+G           FF
Then I looked at the morning mail,
     G+G        FF
I was not even expecting a bill
   C majorC    Csus4Csus4  C majorC   Csus4Csus4
Your letter a-started "Dear",
    C majorC    Csus4Csus4   C majorC Csus4Csus4
and it left me with these tears.
     G7G7    Fadd9Fadd9  G7G7    Fadd9Fadd9
It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day

verse 3:
       C majorC     Csus4Csus4 C majorC Csus4Csus4
Think of the times that we had rows,
    C majorC      Csus4Csus4 C majorC  Csus4Csus4
but we patched them up somehow.
       C majorC    Csus4Csus4  C majorC Csus4Csus4
Think of the times I tried to go,
    C majorC      Csus4Csus4  C majorC Csus4Csus4
but you screamed and told me no
     G+G           FF
There is only one thing in this world
    G+G             FF
that I can't understand that's a girl
     C majorC     Csus4Csus4   C majorC  Csus4Csus4
I keep a-readin' the things you said,
    C majorC     Csus4Csus4 C majorC  Csus4Csus4
like a bad dream in my head.
     G7G7    Fadd9Fadd9  G7G7    Fadd9Fadd9
It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day

outro:

Csus4Csus4  C majorC   Csus4Csus4  C majorC
Sad old day a bad old day.
      G+G            FF
If there is one awful thing in this world,
    G+G             FF
that I can't understand that's a girl
