[VERSE 1]

D                            F#m
Frost leaves a sign on your window,
Bm                                  D
Now you know the summer's been and gone,
Bm                                  D
You wonder when you'll see another one,
Em                         A
Where did your sweet love go?
D                             F#m
There goes the phone and the doorbell
Bm                              D
Old friends are passing on the way
Bm                          D
People stopping by just to say:
Em             G   
How are you today?

[CHORUS]

               Bm
A day is very long
 D                Bm
How long can you say?
 D           F#m  Em   A
How long anyway?
                D
A day is very long
 Bm               D
How long can you say?
 Bm          A   G 
How long anyway?
               D
A day is very long

[VERSE 2]

 D                         F#m
Beneath the floor and the doorway
    Bm                             D
We found something buried in the clay
 Bm                                 D
When they brought it out I looked away
Em                   A
Been missing for so long.
 D                        F#m
Old friend so-and-so was asking
 Bm                               D
Have I thought of putting it all down
 Bm                         D
God forbid I shouldn't be around
Em                 G
One day myself to tell them

[CHORUS]

               Bm
A day is very long
 D                Bm
How long can you say?
 D           F#m  Em   A
How long anyway?
                D
A day is very long
 Bm               D
How long can you say?
 Bm          A   G 
How long anyway?
               D
A day is very long
