On A Monday Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I'm [G]going to sing you a
Lead
[D]Belly song, all [G]right?
[D]Lead
Belly wrote some great songs.
We don't always hear them
because they're [G]kind of weird.
[D]Unless you [G]like them.
Now this one's [D]called
On a
Monday, but it's not just about
Monday.
It's about
Tuesday [G]and
Wednesday,
Thursday [D]and
Friday,
[G]Saturday, and the other one.
[D]If you ever thought you had a bad week in this world,
this is the song [G]to sing.
[D]On [G]a
Monday, I was arres[D]ted
And on a
Tuesday, I got locked up in [G]jail
[D]And [G]on a
[D]Wednesday, [G]my trial was attested
[D]And on a
Thursday, nobody would go my [G]bail
[D]Yes, I'm [G]gone, [D]al [G]most gon[D]e[G]
[D]Yes, I'm [G]gone, I'm almost [D]gone
[A]Yes[D], I'm gon[G]e, I'm almost gone
And I [D]ain't gonna be seeing them
pretty women no [G]more
Take these stripes,
these stripes from off [Em]my sh[D]oulder
Take these chains,
these chains from off of my [G]leg
[Em]Well, [G]these stripes,
[D]you know tha[G]t they don't bot[D]her me
But these chains,
these chains are killin' me [G]dead
[D]Yes, I'm [G]gone, almost [Em]gone
[G]Yes, I'm [D]gone, I'm [G]almost [D]gone
[A]Yes, [D]I'm gon[G]e, I'm almost gone
And I [D]ain't gonna be seein'
them pretty women no [G]more
Now [D]on a
[G]Friday, my baby went out a [D]-walkin'
And on a
Saturday, you know she
locked up the [G]door
And on a
Sunday, she must have
done some talk[D]in'
Cause on a
Monday, she had sold all of my [G]clothes
[D]Yes, I'm [G]gone, [D]almost [G]gone
Yes, I'm gone, I'm almost [D]gone
[A]Yes, [D]I'm gon[G]e, almost gone
And I [D]ain't gonna be seeing
them pretty women [G]no more
