A Day in the Life of a Fool
5 7 -7 -6 -6 6 -7 5
A sad and a long, lone-ly day,
5 -5 6 -6 -4 -4
I walk the av-e-nue
-4 5 -5 6 4 4
and hope I’ll run in-to
4 -4 5 -5 -3 -3
The wel-come sight of you
-3 4 -4 5
Com-ing my way

5 7 -7 -6 -6 6* -7 5
I stop just a-cross from your door
5 -6* -6 6 6 -5 5 -6
But you’re nev-er home an-y-more
-4 -4 5 -5 -7
So back to my room
4 4 -4 5 -6
And there in the gloom
6 5 5 6* -7 -6
I cry tears of good bye.
-6 -7 7 -8 7 -7
‘Til you come back to me
-6 -7 7 -8 7 -7
That’s the way it will be
-6 6 -6 -8 7 -7
Every day in the life
-6 6 -6
of a fool

I play this on a slide harp.
It can be played on a diatonic,
but lacks a bit of subtlety.
It also works on a chromatic, one
number higher.
