[Verse 1]
 
G             Em7      D      E7
Talking to myself and feeling old; 
 Am7                  D    Am7                    D
Sometimes I'd like to quit, nothing ever seems to fit; 
 Em7            C7M   Am7         D  D7   G
Hanging   a  -  round, nothing to do but frown -- 
Am7                    C             G   D7sus4
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down. 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                  Em7     D        E7
What I've got they used to call the blues. 
Am7               D      Am7                    D
Nothing is really wrong, feeling like I don't belong, 
Em7           C7M    Am7          D      D7 G
Walking a  -  round, some kind of lone - ly clown -- 
Am7                    C             G    D   D6
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down. 
 
 
[Bridge]
 
  Em7         C7M           Am7      D7       G7M
Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you ? 
D       C7M           D7sus4    D7    D6
Nice to know somebody loves  me. 
Em7           C7M                 Am7  D7       Em    D    Em7
Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do ? 
        C7M              D7sus4  D   D7sus4   D
Run and find the one who loves   me. 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G               Em7      D       E7
What I feel has come and gone before; 
Am7                D    Am7                     D
No need to talk it out, we know what it's all about; 
Em7             C7M   Am7         D  D7  G
Hanging   a  -  round, nothing to do but frown -- 
 Am7                   C             G     D   D6
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down. 
 
 
(Optional Key Change - otherwise same chords as before
 
(Repeat bridge, new last line)
        C7M             D7sus4  D    E7sus4  E7
Run and find the one who loves  me. 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A               C#m             F#
What I feel has come and gone before; 
Bm                 C#m  Bm                     C#m
No need to talk it out, we know what it's all about; 
 F#m       D7M  D                  A
Hanging around, nothing to do but frown -- 
 D                   D                 A7M    D
Rainy days and Mondays always  get me  down. 
 
 
[Coda]
 
F#m       D7M   D                 A
Hanging around, nothing to do but frown -- 
D                         C#m   D      A
Rainy days and Mondays al- ways get me down.

I find the chord progression in the first line works better with G, G/F, E7.

dankay05 is getting downvoted, but he is correct, at least according to my recording. Not sure if they recorded the song in more than one key, but I have to put the capo all the way up on the 8th fret. Or Transpose to +7 and put capo on 1st fret.
