I feel such sorrow, I feel such shame
G         C       F       C
I know I won't arrive on time
           G                  G7
Before whatever out there is gone
           C    F           C
What can I do, that day is done

It's just a promise that I made

I said I'd walk in her parade

Hot scalding tears I thought would flow

Still in my heart they'll never show


           G Am  Em             F   Eb C
That day is done,  that day is done
                     Am
You know where I've gone
             G
I won't be coming back
 E           Bb/C
That day is done

Well I recall the time and place

When they announced her precious face

I thought at once my heart would burst

Still every time is like the first

There was applause when she stepped up

I wished that I could interrupt

I made no sign, I made no sound

I know I must stay underground

That day is done, that day is done

You know where I've gone

I won't be coming back
 E           Bb/C   Eb  Bb/D  C
That day is done

That's why she walks, or so they say
            C                C7
She always knew just what I needed
            F                  F#°
Now if she would, just look my way
     G                   G+
One time before they proceed

She sprinkles flowers in the dirt

That's when a thrill becomes a hurt

I know I'll never see her face

She walks away from my resting place

That day is done, that day is done

You know where I've gone

I won't be coming back

That day is done
