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.
