Track 2 of 12 on the album "Ballad Of Forty Dollars And His Other Great Songs" (1969) [Intro] E [Verse 1]
E                                                              B7
I never did like that apartment, it was not a place I liked to be

   A                                                                E
In summertime, the place was hot, in wintertime, I'd sit around and freeze

                                                                    B7
I never did like that apartment, seems to me it always smelled like food

A                B7               A                B7
People down the hall complained because I liked to pick and sing

    A                         E
And anyway, the rent was overdue
[Chorus]
N.C.    A             E
Cloudy day, this is my cloudy day

E
One for you and one for him, one for her and one for them

                  B7             E
This looks like a cloudy day for me
[Verse 2]
E                                                             B7
I forgot the number of the interstate that brought me to this town

A                                                                E
I've been here for seven months and still, I do not know my way around

                                                                              B7
Well, I'd like to find a quiet place, but trouble is, I don't know where it's at

A                  B7               A               B7
I don't know which way is best, but I think I'll be heading west

   A                                 E
So I'll be walking where the land is flat
[Chorus]
N.C.    A             E
Cloudy day, this is my cloudy day

E
One for you and one for him, one for her and one for them

                  B7             E
This looks like a cloudy day for me
C7 [Verse 3]
F                                                          C7
I know people higher up the ladder who can always pick and choose

Bb                                                            F
Anything they want to be or anyplace they go, they just can't lose

                                                                  C7
It doesn't matter who you are, we all must have a cloudy day some time

Bb                 C7           Bb                 C7
Days that we can't seem to win, days when we ain't got a friend

   Bb                                F
We all have days and I guess this is mine
[Chorus]
N.C.    Bb            F
Cloudy day, this is my cloudy day

F
One for you and one for him, one for her and one for them

                  C7             F
This looks like a cloudy day for me

F
One for you and one for him, one for her and one for them

                      C7             F
And this looks like a cloudy day for me
