A day in the life of a fool,
Am Dm7 G7 C7M Em7(b5) A7
A sad and a long lonely day
Dm7 G7
I walk the avenue
C7M F7M
And hope I'll run into
Bm7(b5) E7
The welcome sight of you
Am9 Am Bm7(b5) E7
Coming my way
Am Bm7(b5) E7 Am9 Am Bm7(b5) E7
I stop just across from your door
Em7(b5) A7 C7 Dm9 Dm7
But you're never home anymore
Bm7(b5) E7
So back in my room
Am Am/G F#m7(b5) F7
And there in the gloom
Bm7/E E7 Am
I cry tears of goodbye
Bm7(b5) E7
So back in my room
Am Am/G F#m7(b5) F7
And there in the gloom
Bm7/E E7 Am
I cry tears of goodbye
