Good morn ing (Ab)heart ache, (Cm6)you old gloom y (Cm7)sight.

Good morn ing (Bb)heart ache, tho’t we (Bbm7)said good (Eb)bye last (Am7)night.

I tossed and (B)turned un (Bbm7)til it (Am7)seemed you had (Abm7)gone,

but here you (C7#5)are with the (F)dawn.

Wish I’d for (Ab)get you (Cm6)but you’re here to (Cm7)stay.

It seems I (Bb)met you when my (Bbm7)love (Eb)went a (Am7)way.

Now ev ’ry (B)day I (Bbm7)start by (Am7)say ing to (Abm7)you,

Good morn ing (C7#5)heart ache, (Gb7)what’s (Bb)new?

Stop (A7#5)haunt ing me (Dm)now.

Can’t (A13)shake you no (Dmaj7)how.

Just (G7#5)leave me a (C)lone.

I’ve (C#m7)got those Mon day blues (Cm7)straight through Sun day blues.

Good morn ing (Ab)heart ache, (Cm6)here we go a gain.

Good morn ing (Bb)heart ache, you’re the (Bbm7)one who (Eb)knew me (Am7)when.

(Gm7)Might as well get (B)used to (Bbm7)you (Am7)hang in’ a (Abm7)round.

Good morn ing (C7)heart ache (Gb7)sit (F)down!

Good morn ing (Ab)heart ache, (Cm6)you old gloom y (Cm7)sight.
