Six o'clock already I was just in the middle of a dream

But I can't be late 'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
D             G              A                         D
These are the days when you wish your bed was already made

I wish it were Sunday

'Cause that's my fun day
                    D        G       A7

    D                       G              A7         D     G   A7
And if I had an aeroplane I still couldn't make it on time

D                              G           A7       D        G
Blame it on the train but the boss is already there

I wish it were Sunday

All of my nights why did my lover have to pick last night to get down?
(Last night, last night)
   G                     A                                Bm
Doesn't it matter that I have to feed the both of us employment's down
      G                        E
He tells me in his bedroom voice
           A7*   A7*   A7*        Em
"C'mon honey, let's go make some noise"
   A7
Time it goes so fast
(When you're having fun)
 
[Chorus]

It's just another manic Monday
                D        G      A7
I wish it were Sunday
                 D          G      A7
'Cause that's my fun day
                    D        G       A7
My I don't have to run day
                         D      G      A7
It's just another manic Monday
                        D        G      A7
It's just another manic Monday
                D        G      A7
I wish it were Sunday
                 D          G      A7

Firstly, if you think it's so wrong, how come other people have rated it as a 4 star tab (accurate). Secondly, if you believe it is inaccurate as you state, please have the courtesy to offer a correction. Thirdly, I've looked at your tab for this song and I don't believe it's very good as, to my ear, you have inaccuracies in your tab. By the way, how many submissions have you made on this site....? Two, or so your profile reveals. Maybe when you have a few more tabs to your name you will learn how to comment on other's efforts without causing offence. RV

Don't know what "speilhagen" is on about, I thought the chart was accurate. The only thing that I worked out as different was the last line of verse leading into chorus; I got the following:- [D/A]These are the days when you [A]wish your bed was already m-[D]ade It's [A hold]just another manic [D]Monday The only other thing is the A7 chords in the intro (and possibly elsewhere) have an 'E' in the bass and I automatically assumed it was an Em (being a simple bassist :)) but it could be an A7/E, I'll have to dust off the guitar and check it out.

Thanks for that Mickjw2. It's nice to get positive and constructive comments back on a tab. I'll give your suggested changes a go and modify the tab to suit. Thanks again, much appreciated. Roj
