        D5                                           
Well it    didn't feel like Sunday

D5                                                   
   Didn't feel like June

        D5/G                                           
When he       met his silent partner

        D5/G                D5                             
In that       lonely corner     room

     F5                 D5                               
That     overlooked the     marquee

       F5                D5                              
Of the     plaza all-a -     dult

       A7/E                                            
And he       was not lookin' for romance

     Gadd9          G9/F           D5        D5                      
Just        someone       he could     trust 

       F5                    D5                           
And it     wasn't no way to     carry on

   F5                   D5                               
It     wasn't no way to     live

              A7/E                                      
But he could        put up with it for a little while

        Gadd9                   Gadd9/F        D5                    
He was        workin' on some -          thing     big

D5                                                   
   Speedball rang the night clerk

        D5                                            
Said, "    Send me up a drink"

         D5/G                                           
Now the       night clerk said, "It's Sunday man

D5/G                        D5                             
      Wait a minute, let me     think"

           F5                    D5                      
"There' a     little place out -     side of town

F5                       D5                              
   Might still have some     wine"

A7/E                                                   
     Speedball said, "Forget it 

      Gadd9          Gadd9/F           D5                            
Can I        have an           outside     line?"

        F5                   D5                           
And it     wasn't no way to     carry on

   F5                   D5                               
It     wasn't no way to     live

              A7/E                                      
But he could        put up with it for a little while

       Gadd9                    Gadd9/F        D5

       D5                                            
It was     Monday when the day maids

D5                                                   
    Found the still made bed

D5/G                                                   
      All except the pillows

         D5                    D5                        
That lay     stacked up at the     head

    F5                         D5                        
And     one said, "I know I've     seen his face, 

  F5                D5                                   
I     wonder who he     is"

        A7/E                                           
And the       other said, "Probably it's just another clown

       Workin' on some -           thing     big"

       F5                   D5                           
And it     wasn't no way to     carry on

   F5                   D5                               
It     wasn't no way to     live
