7* -8   8* -8   -8   7*  7* -6*  -6*  6    6 
When I feel as though my love is sink-ing down
-5   6    6   6    6  -7  -6*6 
The sun does-n’t want to shine 
  6   7*  -8    8* -8   -8    7*  7* -6* -6* 6 
When it feels like she won’t face a-noth-er day
  6  -5  6   6    6     6  -6* -6* -6*
Life is un-kind, she’s fro-zen in time
 
-4    6   -6*  7  7  -6*  -5   -3   -4 
And here comes a-noth-er grey morn-ing
-4  7  -6* -5   -3  -4   -4 -3  -4 
 A not so good morn-ing aft-er all 
 6   -6*     7 -6* 6 -5 -3 -4  -4
She says, “what am I to do to-day
 -3   -3  -5   -5   -5 -5* -5*  6  -6*
With too much time and so much sor-row”?
 
 
 6   -6*   7  -7 -6* -6* 6  -5   6    -4 
She hears the ba-by wak-ing up down-stairs 
 6   -6*   7   7   -6*   6   -5 -3 -4   -4   -3   -4  
She hears the fog-horn call-ing out a-cross the sound 
-4  6 -6* 7-6* 6  -5   -3  -4  -4 
Re-pe-ti-tion in the morn-ing air,
-3  -3   -5  -5  -3  -6*  -3 -5* -5*  6   -6*  8*
Is just too much to bear and no one seems to care. 
 
 
 8 -8  -8 -8  -8  -8    -8   -8 -8  -8 -8  -8-8   -8 -8
If a-noth-er day goes creep-ing by emp-ty and a-sham-ed 
 7   -7  -8 -8  -8  -8 -8   -8  -3  -6* -7  -6*   -8 
Like an old un-want-ed mem-‘ry that no one will claim 
 3     6     7    7     7   -7  -8   -6*
The clouds with their heads on the ground, 
 -3    -5  6  -6*  6   6    6 
She’s gon-na have to come down. 
 
 
 7*  -8     8*  -8    8*  7*  -4    7*  -8 -8   8*
She said, “move me, move me, I’m locked up in-side” 
 -5  -6* -7 -7 -7  -7   -7  -8     5    6    7   6   -7 
Well, I did-nt un-der-stand her though God knows I tried
 7*  -8     8*  -8  8* 7*  6    7*  -8  10  8*
She said, “make me ang-ry but just make me cry 
 5  -6*  7   -7   -7  -8  5   6    7   -7  -8  -8
But no more grey morn-ing I think I’d rath-er die”.
