MONDAY MORNING BLUES

Piano Intro

I GUESS I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A DREAMER
DREAMING MY LIFE AWAY
MAKING MY PLANS & PLAYING IN BANDS
WERE ALWAYS A PART OF ME

I GUESS I COULD'VE BEEN A SAILOR
SALING THE SEVEN SEAS
BUT I HAD TO CHOOSE, SO I SANG THE BLUES
NOW IT'S ALL HISTORY

CHORUS
(I'VE GOT THE)
MONDAY MORNING BLUES - AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO
MONDAY MORNING BLUES AGAIN
MONDAY MORNING BLUES - SET ME FREE
MONDAY MORNING BLUES AGAIN

I GUESS I'LL ALWAYS BE A GYPSY
ROAMING FROM TOWN TO TOWN
SINGING MY SONGS AND NOT STAYING LONG
IS ALL I'LL EVER BE
SOLO
CHORUS
