...GREY DAY... by Madness
--------------...........

*from 'Seven' (1981)*


Intro:

Gm  A  A7

Verse 1:

     Gm
When I get home it's late at night,
    Am
I'm black and bloody from my life,
  Gm
I haven't time to clean my hands,
Am
 Cuts will only sting me,
           Gm     A  A7
Through my dreams.

Verse 2:

     Gm
It's well past midnight as I lie,
Am
 In a semi-conscious state.
  Gm
I dream of people fighting me,
Am                        Gm   A  A7
 Without any reason I can see.

Chorus 1:

Bb              Am
 In the morning I awake,
   Bb               Am
My arms my legs, my body aches.
    Bb             Am
The sky outside is wet and grey.

Bb           C      D7sus4 Dm
 So begins a-nother weary  day.
Bb           C            Dm
 So begins a-nother weary day.

Verse 3:

Gm
 After eating I go out,
Am
 People passing by me shout.
  Gm
I can't stand this agony;
Am                          Gm  A  A7
 Why don't they talk to me?

Bridge 1:

C#m            C
 In the park I have to rest,
  C#m            A
I lie down and I do my best.
    C#m             C
The rain is falling on my face;
  Bsus4
I wish I could sink,
     B           Gm  A  A7
With-out a trace.

Chorus 2:

Bb              Am
 In the morning I awake,
   Bb               Am
My arms my legs, my body aches.
    Bb             Am
The sky outside is wet and grey.

Bb           C      D7sus4 Dm
 So begins a-nother weary  day.
Bb           C            Dm
 So begins a-nother weary day.
