ABBA – The Day Before You Came (Guitar)

    | Cm                                  | Ab6 *        | G |
        Must have left my house at eight, because I always do

   % | G                                   | *             | Cm |
    My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due

  % | Cm                             | *             | Bb |
    I must have read the morning paper going into town

    % | Bb                            |         Bb7/D           | Eb     | % |
    And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned

| Eb                    |                     | Bb |
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine

 % | Bb7                    |                            | Eb    |
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed

| Eb   Eb/G | Ab                       | Eb/G
       I      must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so

        | Fm                    |
The usual place, the usual bunch

% | Fm                            | Dm7-5 *         | G     |
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained

| %            | Cm       | % |
  The day before you came

    | Cm                          | *               | G  |
    I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two

    % | G7                     | *       G7/B  | Cm  |
    And at the time I never even noticed I  was  blue

  % | Cm                                   | Cm *    Cm/D     | Bb |
    I must have kept on dragging through the business    of the day

  % | Bb                      | Bb7                    Bb/D | Eb  | % |
      Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me     away

 | Eb                    |                          | Bb  |
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule

% | Bb7                   |                             | Eb      |
  A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished   school

|  %  | Ab
    The train back home again,

| Eb/G                         | Fm                | Fmadd9 Fm |
undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then

 | Fm                              | Dm7-5 *      | G    |
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within  its usual frame

| %            | Cm
  The day before you came

    | Cm                             | Ab6 *           | G |
    I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so

    % | G7                              | *       G7/B  | Cm |
    And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go

    % | Cm                          | *           | Bb |
    I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV

    %     | Bb                            |          Bb7         | Eb | % |
    There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see

| Eb                   |                     | Bb7 |
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten

% | Bb7                    |                    Bb7/D | Eb  |
  I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed  by then

|  %  | Ab 
    I   must have read a while

  | Eb/G                        | Fm                       | Fmadd9 Fm |
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style

   | Fm                         | Dm7-5 *         | G7 |   
It's funny, but I had no sense of liv - ing without aim

| %                | Cm  | Cmadd9 Cm
  The day before you came

  | Ab
And turning out the light

| Eb/G                              | Fm               | Fmadd9 Fm |
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night

  | Fm                             | Dm7-5 *          | G7  |
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain

| %                | Cm
  The day before you came
