              Am                         Em          D    C 
Another day has come and gone, and I can't figure what went wrong. 
 
         Am                Em              Mockingbird, is a-mockin' me  
 
  D                               C 
She locked me out and lost the key  
 
     Em                  D               G            C          
And I've gone wanderin again I'm out the door  
       G                                               D 
I'm walking by myself, down the street, like the night before  
 
      Em                 D                 G
C                   G             D               G   
And I should be home in bed, but the notion in my head is Telling me to ramble on... 
  
   
Am                       Em 
Every day is just a dream:  
D                       C 
Stuck inside the Great Machine  
                   Am                      Em 
You work your job, spend your pay  
     D                              C 
And no one hears the prayers you pray  
 
 
    Em             D             G             C  
And I've gone wanderin' again I'm out the door  
    G                                               D 
I'm walking by myself, down the street, like the night before

C                   G              D                 G

      Am                               Em 
I've seen the sun, I've felt the rain 
 
D                          C
Busted loose my ball and chain 
 
          Am                         Em  
Seen the Man and what I see: 
  
         D                           C 
He's just like you, He's just like me
