Mist On A Monday Morning

A  C  D  E

[Verse 1]
  A                    D
I wake and yawn at the crack of dawn
     E               A
With dewdrops on my feet
                     D
As I rise up to greet the morning
E               A
Nothing much to eat
D     E        A               E          A
Every breath I take seems to make my body ache
                  E         A      E   A
My only friend is mist on a Monday morning

[Verse 2]
A                        D
Pick up my sack and walk for miles
E              A
Never thinking why
                           D
To the brewer's yard where I can sit
          E          A
And watch my life go by
D                   A                    E    A
Drink and drink all day till my memory melts away
                     E         A      E   A
I need a friend like mist on a Monday morning

[Bridge]
Am
Where's my wife, has she gone
             F       E Am
I hear misty morning call
Am
One foot resting in the grave
                F       E  Am  A  F#m E
Destined not to see her anymooore

[Verse 3]
           A                      D
There's a den in the grass by the autopath
E             A
Of corrugated steel
                  D
I may be sleeping there tonight
      E             A
And depending how I feel
D        E     A
Damp and dirty place
         E            A
Printing sorrow on my face
                      E        A      E  A
With nothing but the mist on a Monday morning

[Bridge]

Destined not to see her anymoooooore

[Verse 4]
     A              D
From restless gin I feel the sin
     E              A
Like wheels upon my feet
            D
Intoxicated by the night
  E               A
I stumbled in the street
D            E  A                 D  E    A
Every breath I take seems to make my body ache
                   E                   A Am C  F  E  A
And drift into the mist on a Monday morniiing
