    D5
Well it  didn't feel like Sunday
D5
  Didn't feel like June
    D5/G
When he    met his silent partner
    D5/G        D5
In that    lonely corner   room


   F5         D5
That   overlooked the   marquee
    F5        D5
Of the   plaza all-a -   dult
    A7/E
And he    was not lookin' for romance
   Gadd9     G9/F      D5    D5
Just    someone    he could   trust
    F5          D5
And it   wasn't no way to   carry on
  F5          D5
It   wasn't no way to   live
       A7/E
But he could    put up with it for a little while
    Gadd9          Gadd9/F    D5
He was    workin' on some -     thing   big

D5
  Speedball rang the night clerk
    D5
Said, "  Send me up a drink"
     D5/G
Now the    night clerk said, "It's Sunday man
D5/G            D5
   Wait a minute, let me   think"

      F5          D5
"There' a   little place out -   side of town
F5            D5
  Might still have some   wine"
A7/E
   Speedball said, "Forget it
   Gadd9     Gadd9/F      D5
Can I    have an      outside   line?"
    F5          D5
And it   wasn't no way to   carry on
  F5          D5
It   wasn't no way to   live
       A7/E
But he could    put up with it for a little while
    Gadd9          Gadd9/F    D5
He was    workin' on some -     thing   big

    D5
It was   Monday when the day maids
D5
  Found the still made bed
D5/G
   All except the pillows
     D5          D5
That lay   stacked up at the   head


  F5             D5
And   one said, "I know I've   seen his face,
 F5        D5
I   wonder who he   is"
    A7/E
And the    other said, "Probably it's just another clown
Gadd9           Gadd9/F     D5
    Workin' on some -      thing   big"
    F5          D5
And it   wasn't no way to   carry on
  F5          D5
It   wasn't no way to   live
       A7/E
But he could    put up with it for a little while
