INTRO: [A#] [F]
VERSE 1:
Blue
[A#] Monday, I hate blue
[A#7] Monday
Got to
[D#] work like a slave all
[A#] day
Here come
[A#] Tuesdays, oh hard Tuesdays
I'm so
[F] tired got no time to play
PRE-CHORUS:
Here come
[A#] Wednesday, I'm beat to my
[A#7] socks
My girl
[D#] calls, got to tell her I'm
[A#] out
Cause
[A#] Thursday is a hard workin'
[F] day
And Friday I get my
[A#] pay
[A#7]
CHORUS:
Saturday
[D#] mornin', oh Saturday
[C7] mornin'
All my
[A#] tiredness is half gone a-
[A#7]-way
Got my
[D#] money and my
[C7] honey
And I'm
[F] out on the stand to
[F7] play
VERSE 3:
But Sunday
[A#] mornin' my head is
[A#7] bad
Though it's
[D#] worth it, for the time that I
[A#] had
But I've got, to get my
[F] rest
Cause Monday is a
[A#] mess
INSTRUMENTAL: [over PRE-CHORUS]
