[Verse 1]
 
C             Am7      G      A7
Talking to myself and feeling old; 
 Dm7                  G    Dm7                    G
Sometimes I'd like to quit, nothing ever seems to fit; 
 Am7            F7M   Dm7         G  G7   C
Hanging   a  -  round, nothing to do but frown -- 
Dm7                    F             C   G7sus4
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down. 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C                  Am7     G        A7
What I've got they used to call the blues. 
Dm7               G      Dm7                    G
Nothing is really wrong, feeling like I don't belong, 
Am7           F7M    Dm7          G      G7 C
Walking a  -  round, some kind of lone - ly clown -- 
Dm7                    F             C    G   G6
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down. 
 
 
[Bridge]
 
  Am7         F7M           Dm7      G7       C7M
Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you ? 
G       F7M           G7sus4    G7    G6
Nice to know somebody loves  me. 
Am7           F7M                 Dm7  G7       Am    G    Am7
Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do ? 
        F7M              G7sus4  G   G7sus4   G
Run and find the one who loves   me. 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C               Am7      G       A7
What I feel has come and gone before; 
Dm7                G    Dm7                     G
No need to talk it out, we know what it's all about; 
Am7             F7M   Dm7         G  G7  C
Hanging   a  -  round, nothing to do but frown -- 
 Dm7                   F             C     G   G6
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down. 
 
 
(Optional Key Change - otherwise same chords as before
 
(Repeat bridge, new last line)
        F7M             G7sus4  G    A7sus4  A7
Run and find the one who loves  me. 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D               F#m             B
What I feel has come and gone before; 
Em                 F#m  Em                     F#m
No need to talk it out, we know what it's all about; 
 Bm       G7M  G                  D
Hanging around, nothing to do but frown -- 
 G                   G                 D7M    G
Rainy days and Mondays always  get me  down.
