   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 

Interlude: Am Bm5-/7  E7/9-  Am9 Am Bm5-/7 E7 Em5-/7 A7/9- C7/9- Dm9 Dm7             

                         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
