Accordi The Day Before You Came

Intro:
DOm

DOm 
Must have left my house at eight, 
  LAb            SOL
because I always do
        
My train, I'm certain, 
                                  DOm
left the station just when it was due
                                              SIb
I must have read the morning paper going into town
                                    
And having gotten through the editorial, 
   SIb/RE       MIb
no doubt I must have frowned

I must have made my desk 
                       SIb
around a quarter after nine
     
With letters to be read, 
                                  MIb
and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
  LAb
I must have gone to lunch 
   MIb/SOL  
at half past twelve or so
          FAm
The usual place, the usual bunch

And still on top of this 
           REm7/5-           SOL
I'm pretty sure it must have rained
               DOm
The day before you came

  DOm
I must have lit my seventh cigarette 
             SOL
at half past two
                                           DOm
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
                     
I must have kept on dragging 
                            SIb
through the business of the day
                          
Without really knowing anything, 
                   MIb
I hid a part of me away
   
At five I must have left, 
                            SIb
there's no exception to the rule

A matter of routine, 
                                   MIb
I've done it ever since I finished school
    LAb
The train back home again
  MIb/SOL            
Undoubtedly I must have read 
   FAm
the evening paper then

Oh yes, I'm sure my life 
           REm7/5-         SOL
was well within it's usual frame
               DOm          SIdim
The day before you came

DOm
Must have opened my front door 
   LAb           SOL
at eight o'clock or so

And stopped along the way 
                         DOm
to buy some Chinese food to go
                                                SIb
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
              
There's not, I think, 
                                         MIb
a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
                                               SIb
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten

I need a lot of sleep, 
                              MIb
and so I like to be in bed by then
  LAb
I must have read a while
    MIb/SOL        
The latest one by Marilyn French 
FAm
or something in that style

It's funny, but I had no sense 
   REm7/5-        SOL
of living without aim
                   DOm
The day before you came
    LAb
And turning out the light
  MIb/SOL             
I must have yawned and cuddled up 
    FAm
for yet another night
     
And rattling on the roof 
            REm7/5-            SOL
I must have heard the sound of rain
                   DOm       SIdim
The day before you came
