Well it [D5] didn't feel like Sunday
[D5] Didn't feel like June
[cb]D5/G[/cb]
When he met his silent partner
[cb]D5/G[/cb] D5
In that lonely corner room
That [F5] overlooked the [D5] marquee
Of the [F5] plaza all-a - [D5] dult
[cb]A7/E[/cb]
And he was not lookin' for romance
Gadd9 [cb]G9/F[/cb] D5 D5
Just someone he could trust
And it [F5] wasn't no way to [D5] carry on
It [F5] wasn't no way to [D5] live
[cb]A7/E[/cb]
But he could put up with it for a little while
Gadd9 [cb]Gadd9/F[/cb] D5
He was workin' on some - thing big

[D5] Speedball rang the night clerk
Said, " [D5] Send me up a drink"
[cb]D5/G[/cb]
Now the night clerk said, "It's Sunday man
[cb]D5/G[/cb] D5
Wait a minute, let me think"

"There' a [F5] little place out - [D5] side of town
[F5] Might still have some [D5] wine"
[cb]A7/E[/cb]
Speedball said, "Forget it
Gadd9 [cb]Gadd9/F[/cb] D5
Can I have an outside line?"
And it [F5] wasn't no way to [D5] carry on
It [F5] wasn't no way to [D5] live
[cb]A7/E[/cb]
But he could put up with it for a little while
Gadd9 [cb]Gadd9/F[/cb] D5
He was workin' on some - thing big

It was [D5] Monday when the day maids
[D5] Found the still made bed
[cb]D5/G[/cb]
All except the pillows
That lay [D5] stacked up at the [D5] head
And [F5] one said, "I know I've [D5] seen his face,
I [F5] wonder who he [D5] is"
[cb]A7/E[/cb]
And the other said, "Probably it's just another clown
Gadd9 [cb]Gadd9/F[/cb] D5
Workin' on some - thing big"
