E                                                            B7
I never did like that apartment it was not a place I like to be
   A                                                              E
In summertime the place was hot, in wintertime I'd sit around and freeze
  E                                                               B7
I never did like that apartment, seems to me it always smell like food
A               B7                A                B7                A                       E 
People down the hall complained because I liked to pick and sing and anyway the rent was overdue


Chorus:
       A                      E
Cloudy day, this is my cloudy day
E
One for you and one for him, one for her and one for them
E
This looks like a cloudy day for me


I've forgot the number of the Interstate that brought me to this town
I've been here for seven months and still I do not know my way around
Well I'd like to find a quiet place and trouble is I don't know where it's at
I don't know which way is best but I think I'll be headin' west so I'll be walkin' where the land is flat

Chorus


Key change to F
F                                                              C
I've known people higher up the ladder who can always pick and choose
Bb                                                         F
Anything they want to be or anyplace they go to just can't lose
   F                                                             C
It doesn't matter who you are we all must have a cloudy day some time
Bb                 C            Bb                 C             Bb                                   F 
Days that we can't seem to win, days that we ain't got a friend, we all have days and I guess this is mine

Chorus

One for you and one for him one for her and one for them
This looks like a cloudy day for me
