 Am          Bm5-/7  E7/9-   Am9 Am Bm5-/7 E7/9-  
A day in the life     of a fool  
  Am     Dm7     G7     C7M  Em5-/7 A7/9-  
A sad and a long lonely day 
       Dm7        G7  
I walk the avenue  
      C7M          F7M  
And hope I'll run into  
       Bm5-/7      E7/9-  
The welcome sight of you 
    Am9  Am   Bm5-/7 E7  
Coming my way  
   Am     Bm5-/7   E7/9-      Am9 Am Bm5-/7 E7  
I stop just across from your door  
 Em5-/7      A7/9- C7/9-    Dm9 Dm7             
But you're never home    anymore  
               Bm5-/7 E7/9-              
So back in my room 
          Am      Am/G F#m5-/7 F7  
And there in the gloom 
  Bm7/E E7             Am  
I cry     tears of goodbye

             Bm5-/7 E7/9-              
So back in my room

And there in the gloom 
  Bm7/E E7               Am  
I cry      tears of goodbye
