verse 1: 
      C  
On monday I wished it was tuesday night 
           F            G          C 
So I could wish for the weekend to come 
   C 
On tuesday I wished that the night would pass 
           C        G      Am 
So I could call you on the phone 
      F               C 
Now a man can spend a lot of time 
          Am               C 
Wondering what was on jack ruby's mind 
    F             Em               Dm        G 
And time is all I have without you here 

verse 2: 
   C                   
On wednesday when you hung up 
          F       G       C 
It was as much as I could do 
   C 
To stop from wishing thursday 
      C       G       Am 
Would pass so quickly too 
        F                C 
They're out there making history 
       C                 F 
In the lenin shipyards today 
    F                C             Am 
And here I am in the hammersmith hotel 
G                 C 
Wishing the days away 

verse 3: 
C  
Wasn't it a shock to find                  
    F        G     C     
The king was human too? 
C 
Still I think he understands 
     C       G           Am      
Much more of me than you do. 
   F              C 
It seems a proper shame to steal, 
    C                   F 
His clothes but not his crown, 
F                C           Am 
Here I am in the Hammersmith hotel, 
G                      C 
Singing the government down 

verse 4: 
        C  
There's always room for one more soul 
F           G     C 
Down in the human zoo 
C 
I don't want you to come here though 
  C            G       Am 
I want to come home to you 
F                   C 
Somebody's knocking at the door 
    C            F 
Its later than I think 
         F                    C        Am 
And it's time to put on these stinking clothes 
    G                 C 
And get out there and stink 

Verse 5: 
   C 
On friday I wished there was something more 
      F           G           C 
To be seen in the letters you send 
   C 
On saturday I wished it was sunday 
             C       G    Am 
Oh will this torment ever end 
    F             C               F 
Sometimes I get a notion to put a torch 
                   F 
To the tools of my trade 
F                C             Am 
Here I am in the hammersmith hotel 
G                C 
Wishing the days away
