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
