Capo 2

C                                                          F
Monday morning Merle don't worry 'bout the girl he used to love
G                                           C
Tuesday's throwback, Springsteen, "Devils & Dust"
F                            G
Wednesday spins the Beatles, Thursday is the Eagles
         C               C/B              Am
"Take It Easy" 'til that Friday rocks his world
      F                                G
After Saturday on Jackson Browne, he's Sunday Morning Coming Down
         C             C/B          Am
And he's right back to missing that girl
          F                        G
Turns up "Misery and Gin", here we are again
                  C

C                                                           F
Monday morning Merle lets that old broken heart get back to work
   G                                                      C
He hides all the holes and the hurt under the dirt on his shirt
        C                        C7             
And the only way that he can get through the days and the regret
     F
Is a song full of truth with some words he never said
           G                                                           C
With those whiskey remedies and those old school melodies you can't forget


Chorus:
              F                            G 
That's why on Wednesday spins the Beatles, Thursday is the Eagles
         C               C/B              Am
"Take It Easy" 'til that Friday rocks his world
      F                                G 
After Saturday on Jackson Browne, he's Sunday morning coming down
         C             C/B          Am
And he's right back to missing that girl
          F                        G
Turns up "Misery and Gin", Here we are again 
G#             Am    G  F  Am  G  F
