[Verse 1]
D
Six o'clock already 
      G                      |  D  |  G  G/E |
I was just in the middle of a dream 
      D
I was kissin' Valentino 
     G                   |  D  |  G  G/E |
By a crystal blue Italian stream 
 
[Verse 2] + bridge
      D
But I can't be late 
              G                    |  D  |  G  G/E |
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid 
D/A
These are the days 
         G/A                      |  D  |
When you wish your bed was already made
 
[Chorus]
     A5                 D
It's just another manic Monday 
G   G/E         D
  I wish it was Sunday 
G        G/E       D
  'Cause that's my fun day 
G    G/E             D
  My I don't have to run day 
     Asus4              D
It's just another manic Monday 
                      (break)
 
[Verse 3]
D
Have to catch an early train 
G                  |  D  |  G  G/E |
Got to be to work by nine 
    D
And if I had an aeroplane 
  G                      |  D  |  G  G/E |
I still couldn't make it on time 
 
[Verse 4] + bridge
          D
'Cause it takes me so long 
        G                       |  D  |  G  G/E |
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear 
D/A
Blame it on the train 
        G/A            |  D  |
But the boss is already there 
 
[Chorus]
     A5                 D
It's just another manic Monday 
G   G/E         D
  I wish it was Sunday 
G        G/E       D
  'Cause that's my fun day 
G    G/E             D
  My I don't have to run day 
     Asus4              D
It's just another manic Monday 
                      (break)
 
[Middle 8]
Bm
All of the nights 
           Bm
Why did my lover have to pick 
     E
Last night to get down 
                   (Last night, last night)
G
Doesn't it matter 
          (Doesn't it matter)
       A
That I have to feed the both of us 
  Bm
Employment's down 
   G                       E/G#
He tells me in his bedroom voice 
      Asus4  Asus4         Asus4         A7
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise 
    (break)
A7
Time it goes so fast 
           (When you're having fun)
 
[Chorus] (variation and coda)
     A5                 D
It's just another manic Monday 
G   G/E         D
  I wish it was Sunday 
G        G/E       D
  'Cause that's my fun day 
G    G/E             D
  My I don't have to run day 
     G     G/F#   Asus4 D
It's just another manic Monday 
G   G/E         D
  I wish it was Sunday 
G        G/E       D
  'Cause that's my fun day 
     G     G/F#   Asus4 D  D
It's just another manic Monday

I was looking for the actual detailed chords, and you have them right here. Thanks for putting a correct version with the intricate variations on the D and G and A.

Great chords that fit this song so well, by far the best chords on the internet. Thanks

The C/A according to your tabbing should actually stand for G/A which I suppose is just a typo
