[Verse 1]
G     Am         G
I did all that I should
  F             G
Well all that I could
    Am        G
But will I be clean?
G     Am         G
I did all that I should
  F             G
Well all that I could
    Am       G
But it isn't me


[Pre-Chorus]
A#      A7         Dm       G
All my strength is dead and gone


[Verse 2]
G        Am        G
Slept as long as I could
   F         G
As long as I should
   Am           G
To find comfort here
G        Am        G
Slept as long as I could
   F         G
As long as I should
    Am           G
But I still have fear


[Pre-Chorus]
A#     A7          Dm       G
All my strength is dead and gone


[Chorus 2]
G            D
Black letter day
        F            C
All the fun has gone away
G            D
Black letter day
        F            C
All the joy has gone away
G            D
Black letter day
       F                 C
All my strength has gone away
G            D
Black letter day
       F                 C


[Verse 3]
G       Am         G
I drank all that I could
     F           G
Much more than I should
   Am        G
In simple despair
G       Am         G
I drank all that I could
     F           G
Much more than I should
   Am           G
To find someone there


[Pre-Chorus]
A#     A7          Dm       G
All my strength is dead and gone


[Chorus 2]

G            D
Black letter day
        F            C
All the fun has gone away
G            D
Black letter day
        F            C
All the joy has gone away
G            D
Black letter day
       F                 C
All my strength has gone away
G            D
Black letter day
       F                 C


[Bridge]
(Repeat rythm from verse)
G        Am       G       F
G        Am       G

Once upon a time there was a scientist with a nose made of silver

He found that there were far too hurtless days a year

That one could do without

He called them black letter days

And the rest is silence


[Pre-Chorus]
A#     A7          Dm       G
All my strength is dead and gone


[Chorus 2]
G            D
Black letter day
        F            C
All the fun has gone away
G            D
Black letter day
        F            C
All the joy has gone away
G            D
Black letter day
       F                 C
All my strength has gone away
G            D
Black letter day
       F                 C


[Outro]
A#     A7          Dm          G
I hope Monday will be a better day
