ABBA - The day before you came
Em
|
I must have left my house
|
B7
|
At eight because I always do
|
B7
|
My train I'm certain left the station
|
Em
|
just when it was due
|
D
|
I must have read the morning paper going into town
|
D
|
And having gotten through the editorial
|
G
|
No doubt I must have frowned
|
G
|
I must have made my desk around
|
D7
|
a quarter after nine
|
|
With letters to be read and heaps of papers
|
G
|
waiting to be signed
|
C
|
I must have gone to lunch
|
Em
|
at half past twelve or so
|
Am
|
The usual place the usual bunch
|
Am7
|
And still on top of this
|
B7
|
I'm pretty sure it must have rained
|
Em
|
The day before you came
|
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
|
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
|
I must have kept on dragging
|
through the business of the day
|
Without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away
|
At five I must have left
|
there's no exception to the rule
|
A matter of routine
|
I've done it ever since I finished school
|
The train back home again
|
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
|
Oh yes I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame
|
The day before you came
|
Bridge:

|
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
|
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
|
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
|
There's not I think a single episode of
|
Dallas that I didn't see
|
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
|
I need a lot of sleep and so I like to be in bed by then
|
I must have read a while
|
The latest one by Marilyn
|
French or something in that style
|
It's funny but I had no sense of living without aim
|
The day before you came
|
And turning out the light
|
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
|
And rattling on the roof
|
I must have heard the sound of rain
|
The day before you came
|
