INTRO: [B] [F#]
VERSE 1:
Blue
[B] Monday, I hate blue
[B7] Monday
Got to
[E] work like a slave all
[B] day
Here come
[B] Tuesdays, oh hard Tuesdays
I'm so
[F#] tired got no time to play
PRE-CHORUS:
Here come
[B] Wednesday, I'm beat to my
[B7] socks
My girl
[E] calls, got to tell her I'm
[B] out
Cause
[B] Thursday is a hard workin'
[F#] day
And Friday I get my
[B] pay
[B7]
CHORUS:
Saturday
[E] mornin', oh Saturday
[C#7] mornin'
All my
[B] tiredness is half gone a-
[B7]-way
Got my
[E] money and my
[C#7] honey
And I'm
[F#] out on the stand to
[F#7] play
VERSE 3:
But Sunday
[B] mornin' my head is
[B7] bad
Though it's
[E] worth it, for the time that I
[B] had
But I've got, to get my
[F#] rest
Cause Monday is a
[B] mess
INSTRUMENTAL: [over PRE-CHORUS]
