Abba - The Day Before You Came
Em
B7
I must have left my house at eight because I always do
Em
My train I'm certain left the station just when it was due
D
I must have read the morning paper going into town
G
And having gotten through the editorial no doubt I must have frowned
D7
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
G
With letters to be read and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
C
Em
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
Am
The usual place the usual bunch
Am7 B7
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
Em
The day before you came
Em
B7
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
Em
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
D
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
G
Without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away
D7
At five I must have left there's no exception to the rule
G
A matter of routine I've done it ever since I finished school
C
The train back home again
Em Am
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
Am7 B7
Oh yes I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame
Em
The day before you came
E Cdim Adim B7 E Edim Em B7 Em
Em
B7
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
Em
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
D
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
G
There's not I think a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
D7
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
G
I need a lot of sleep and so I like to be in bed by then
C
I must have read a while
Em Am
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
Am7 B7
It's funny but I had no sense of living without aim
Em
The day before you came
C
And turning out the light
Em Am
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
Am7 B7
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
Em
The day before you came
