[Lyrics] Someone woke me up this mornin' and I lit a cigarette Found myself when I stopped yawnin', started Getting myself dressed Then I felt I had a dream, I remembered the Things I'd seen I could still hear the things you said with that bad Dream in my head It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day So I called you on the phone and your friend said "she's not home" So I told her where I'd be at and that you should Call me back Then I looked at the morning mail, I was not even Expecting a bill Your letter a-started "Dear", and it left me With these tears It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day Think of the times that we had rows, but we Patched them up somehow Think of the times I tried to go, but you screamed And told me no There is only one thing in this world that I can't Understand, that's a girl I keep a-readin' the things you said, like a bad Dream in my head It was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day ************************************ Duration Legend W - whole; H - half; Q - quarter; E - 8th; S - 16th; a - acciaccatura; + - note tied to previous; . - note dotted; Duration letters will always appear directly above the note/fret number it represents the duration for.
