Topic: Monday Morning.
I was in the shower this morning and unless I have to concentrate on something I'll always have music or a song going round my head. I guess most of us are like that? Anyway, as sometimes happens the first line of this song popped in my thoughts, so then I had to think up the second line etc. When I'd got the first verse I had to find a chorus, it just happens that I had 4 lines of a song that had been hanging round for a few weeks (it's always worth writing bits down) which became the chorus. The bridge is from a song that I'd scrapped a few years ago, worth keeping that too, to me anyway! I've just this minute finished it and will be recording it tonight.
Monday Morning.Undefined
[Am] When I woke-up Monday morning –
[C] I thought today will be a great day, [Am] yes I know. [C]
[Am] The sun was in the sky and shining.
[C] Every cloud had a silver lining – [Am] high and low. [C]
[Dm] My sweet baby called me, and I [G7] knew.
Life life could get no [C] better.
[Dm] Then she said those words and broke my [G7] heart.
“I never want to [C] hurt you baby.
[Dm] I never want to hurt you baby, [G7] but there's someone pulling us [C] apart.
[Dm] I never want to hurt you baby, [G7] but there's someone pulling us [C] apart.”
(CHORUS)
[G] How you [C] want it. [G] That's how you [C] got it.
[G] Be who you [C] want to be. But [Am] be who you [D] are.
[G] I know you're a [C] dreamer. [G] Your dreams mean the [C] world to you.
[G] Playing by the [C] rules. Never [Em] gets you very [D] far.
[Am] When I woke-up Tuesday morning.
With those [C] tears still in my eyes – hurting [Am] deep inside. [C]
[Am] Clouds from hell to daybreak, and the [C] rain was falling.
Wind was blowing – [Am] wished I'd died. [C]
[Dm] My front door and my phone were silent.
[G7] Not a sound but my heart defiant.
[C] Those words were playing [Em] over [Am] in my mind.
[Dm] When she said those words and broke my [G7] heart.
“I never want to hurt you [C] babe. [Em-Am]
[Dm] I never want to hurt you baby, [G7] but there's someone pulling us [C] apart.
[Dm] I never want to hurt you baby, [G7] but there's someone pulling us [C] apart.”
(CHORUS)
[Am] When I woke-up on Friday morning.
Storm clouds [C] disappearing, didn't [Am] feel so low. [C]
[Am] When I thought about my baby leaving.
As [C] if she'd died and left me grieving, [Am] on my own. [C]
And I [Dm] wondered who had stole my baby?
[G7] Never take her back, well maybe.
[C] And those words were playing [Em] in my [Am] mind.
[Dm] When she said those words and broke my [G7] heart.
“I never want to hurt you [C] babe. [Em-Am]
[Dm] I never want to hurt you baby, [G7] but there's someone pulling us [C] apart. [Em-Am]
[Dm] I never want to hurt you baby, [G7] but there's someone pulling us [C] apart.”
[F] You were my inspiration, [Fm] you were the backbone of my [C] life.
[F] Without you there how could I could I carry [Fm] on?
You're my dedication, [Am] still you hurt me with [G7] goodbye.
[Am] Once again it's Monday, [C] I wake-up feeling like [Am] today's the day.-[C]
(CHORUS)
