Lyrics

Blue (C)Mon day, how I hate blue (C7)Mon day,

have to (F7)work like a slave all (C6)day.

Here comes (C)Tues day,

oh, hard Tues day,

I’m so (G7)tired, I’ve got no time to play.

Here comes (C)Wednes day, I’m beat to my (C7)socks.

My gal (F)calls, got to tell her that I’m (C6)out,

’cause (C)Thurs day is a hard work ing (Dm7)day, and (G7)Fri day I get my (C6)pay.

Sat ur day (F6)morn ing,

oh, Sat ur day (F#dim7)morn ing,

all my (C)tired ness has gone a (C7)way.

Got my (F6)mon ey,

and my (F#dim7)hon ey,

and I’m (G7)out on the stem to play.

Sun day (C6)morn ing my head is bad,

but it’s (F7)worth it for the time I have (C)had.

But I got to get my (Dm7)rest, ’cause Mon day (G7)is next.

Blue (C)Mon day, how I hate blue (C7)Mon day,

have to (F7)work like a slave all (C6)day.

Here comes (C)Tues day,

oh, hard Tues day,

I’m so (G7)tired, I’ve got no time to play.

Here comes (C)Wednes day, I’m beat to my (C7)socks.

My gal (F)calls, got to tell her that I’m (C6)out,

’cause (C)Thurs day is a hard work ing (Dm7)day, and (G7)Fri day I get my (C6)pay.

Sat ur day (F6)morn ing,

oh, Sat ur day (F#dim7)morn ing,

all my (C)tired ness has gone a (C7)way.

Got my (F6)mon ey,

and my (F#dim7)hon ey,

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.

Can I slow "Blue Monday" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
