G     F            G
I did all that I should
 F               G
Well all that I could
     F          G
But will I be clean?
G     F            G
I did all that I should
     F           G
Well all that I could
    F         G
But it isn't me

A#        A7        G#m      G
All my strength is dead and gone

Slept as long as I could
As long as I should
To find comfort here
Slept as long as I could
As long as I should
But I still have fear

All my strength is dead and gone

Chorus:
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

I drank all that I could
Much more than I should
In simple despair
I drank all that I could
Much more than I should
To find someone there

All my strength is dead and gone

Chorus

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
All my strength is dead and gone

Chorus

I hope Monday will be a better day
