Stormy Monday

T-Bone Walker

12-bar Blues in G (6/8 time)

[12-bar piano intro]

They call it stormy Monday
But Tuesday's just as bad
They call it stormy Monday
But Tuesday is just as bad
Wednesday's worse
And Thursday is oh so sad

The eagle flies on Friday
And Saturday, I go out to play
The eagle flies on Friday
And Saturday, I go out to play
On Sunday I go to church
Lord knows, I get down on my knees and pray

[12-bar piano solo]

Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
I'm just a waiting on my baby
And I wonder where can she be?

[12-bar instrumental with 6/8 swing]
[12-bar harmonica solo with 6/8 swing]
[12-bar guitar solo back to 4/4 rhythm]

Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
I'm just a trying, trying, trying to find my baby
Won't somebody please send her home to me?
