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.
