Curtis Mayfield 
Blue Monday People

(i'm pretty sure this is in the right key but the chords and variations he plays are
probably a bit more complex than this)

Ebm7, F#
                                      Ebm7, F#
         ...some people feel so empty 
                                       Ebm7, F#
all their problems and hurt of pride
                                       Ebm7, F#
